Craft On: Last Spa Standing
Hooray! I finished the last piece of the spa set. Boo! After I sent the pattern to my technical editor, I found three errors I should have caught myself. I do love this little bath pouf, though. Are you interested in beta knitting it? Or any of the other four pieces in the set? Let me know, please, and I will give you more information.
The baptismal gown is corrected, but not progressing much. I forgot to bring the needles for small circumference circular knitting when we took an overnight trip to Lake Chelan, and the gown was not really an appropriate project for catching a stitch here and there at the Kebab Fest. So, I will get back to it this weekend and we will see if I can finish two sleeves in two or three days, while also trying to preserve apples in about five different ways.
We are slowly working our way through Emma, and are more than a third of the way through. I've finished three happy, little murders, and I started the fourth in the series, Boston Scream Murder, in which the victim has my husband's name. Well, his first name, Rich. These are fun, and have a little knitting group who are mentioned throughout the books, too, though I hate the spelling of doughnut in them (she uses donut), and I do not love calling cake doughnuts unraised doughnuts. In other news, I crave doughnuts all the time now.
I'm still making a little progress in Milk: The Surprising Story of Milk Through the Ages. We've had a busy couple weeks and light reading was almost all I could handle.
Linking to Unraveled Wednesday
