Instead, I will show you this picture of a scarf I started knitting on Sunday (because I clearly haven't learned to crochet so the baby dress is on indefinite hold, but it is at least sewn together, so if worse comes to worse I'll just fake the rest. And there's no way I'm knitting on an afghan when it's the approximate temperature of the sun outside). It's pretty, and keep in mind it'll get prettier because it's lace (technically it's the Oriel Lace Scarf from 101 Designer One Skein Wonders) and the fun part about lace is that it looks like a big crazy mess while you're making it and then after you're finished and you've blocked it you look like a magician (well, that's how you look to everyone who doesn't know how to knit lace. To the people who do, you just look normal).
I enjoy looking like a magician.
Plus, I've been looking at this leftover yarn since I finished Grace's shawl that almost killed me three or so years ago (!) and I'd like to be rid of it. I think I have plenty of leftovers, but it also wouldn't surprise me even a little bit if I ran out halfway through.
Ah, well.
One last thing. I feel like you should know that I just (as in, over the weekend) realized that I have a close up setting on my camera. The new (to me) camera that is simply an updated model of the camera I've had for the last 4 years (and has all the same features and even all the same buttons). Sometimes it helps to pay attention. Anyway, at least it results in less blurry pictures!
