finally!

i finally finished the anthropology capelet. it's not that it was a hard project, i just have had an awful attention span as of late and it has just taken me awhile... :)
i used joann's sensations belezza collection in the off-white color. it's has a good deal of natural fibers in it so i should be able to block it to reduce any awkwardness... it's currently stretching weirdly at the bottom, probably because i cast-off too loosely.


one project down... 999,999 to go... :)

stagnant

i worked on a bunch of stuff for christmas but didn't take pictures of any of it. i'm still modifying a bolero for my mom, as you can see in my handy-dandy new status bar thingy. :) it's cute, i just wanted to make it better. i made a few hat-and-scarf sets for a few of my friends as well.
i feel like i'm in stagnant water right now though.... there are so many things that i want to sew but i feel too fat to make it to my current size. there are a bunch of things i'd like to knit and crochet but my room and where my stuff currently is in the basement is so incredibly chaotic that i just choose (or am forced by fatigue) to nap until dinnertime. maybe i'm not just in stagnant water... but i'm drowning in it.
one project i bought yarn for is a giant granny square afghan with the simply soft brites. my thoughts are to do four rows of each brite color and then a row or two of white... i'll see what looks the best when i start doing it... i'm thinking 4 and two would work nicely though. :)
