September 2003 Archives

I have made it past the point where I frogged, so I really feel like I am making progress on the shawl. Everyone who sees it thinks I am being overly ambitious for my first real project, but I feel I am under control. They don't see the mistakes that I just sort of leave there and fix in the next round.

Here it is, in all it's purple glory. I can't tell how this photo came out, because my monitor gets darker everyday. After the house is all settled, it's time for a new monitor for me. Please don't look at all the crap in the background -- the office is in pre-packing mode-- everything's everywhere.

I am in the middle of the second pattern, just starting the second part of the second pattern. I hope I can finish this before we move. At the rate we are going, I don't know which will happen first.

We are still trying to get our house ready to move in, and it's taking forever. As soon as you get one thing fixed, something else wrong happens, and you get pushed back again. Ah well.
