Today

Well today, I am very excited. Today I am headed up near Philly to visit one of my best friends for the weekend :). YAY girls weekend! To celebrate - I made sure to finish my princeton lace scarf and new zig zag lacy scarf to bring with me :). I can’t even remember if I told ya’ll I was making them… but…. I bought this lovely hand painted 100% merino yarn the other week for each. The princeton lace is a variegated grey/charcoal and the zig zag is this gorgeous royal/navy blue. I’ll be in the airport a bunch, so guess that means I’ll be working on lots of Christmas presents! I’ve que’d posts for the weekend, but I’ll have to do a show and tell when I get back :)

Finally stopped procrastinating...

And yet I still didn’t take you any pictures… but I will today!

It was a busy weekend… I managed to avoid a football game Saturday and spent my day getting lots of S&P items ready to go.  A couple of *completed* tasks from the weekend:

• Blocked & Labled the two Zig Zag Berets, and added cute vintage buttons…
• Finished labeling and adding vintage buttons to the Cabled Wrap-Around
• Finished knitting the latest Princeton Lace Scarf, needs to be blocked tonight
• Packaged and priced all the vintage jewelry & items I’ve made for the etsy shop thus far
• Went yarn shopping with my mom :) … got a few new skeins in pretty colors for fall

I think that is about it :) But yeah it was a busy weekend and a really fun one! Sooo….. pics soon!

PS- will cast on for a cream keyhole scarf next!

Finito

Well - 2 more items done…
#1) The Cabled wrap-around is through blocking and just needs its buttons & label
#2) I completed my test run of the Zig Zag Beret last night - two days, not bad! It is definitely slouchy, but super cute! I’m trying to decide if it deserves a button in the center or not, but otherwise it is finished :)

Yay for getting things done… too bad I am back to one of those pesky-time-consuming-but-beautiful Princeton Lace Scarves!

Picture taking at some point very soon - I finished up the keyhole scarf and the princeton lace scarf!  Both of which look very nice.  I also figure I’ll finish up another flowered headband today.

Yesterday I took some time to write down a full out listing of what has to be done before I open the etsy shop.  Here’s the run down - two more cabled wrap-arounds, one more keyhole or princeton lace scarf, finishing up my belts with flower accent (still in pieces as they have been for 2 months).  Anyhow I’m setting a goal of SOON.  In the meantime I did get up my banner and shop policies!  That counts for something, right?  

On the Needles
