Craft On: Back to the Beginning
Do you see this up there? I'm ripping all of that out today. It turns out it is about an inch smaller than it ought to be, so I will be making a larger size. However, that is the work of less than a full day, so it isn't too terrible. This is a surprise project, and I won't be sharing it entirely until the recipient has it. I do like the pattern quite a bit, and the yarn is deep stash Lush, which is delightful to work with.
In the meantime, I am returning to Qidyssat Katrin, plus a couple other projects to put into my rotation. I have a couple pair of forgotten mitts/mittens, plus the second sock of a pair I started last year. They won't all be in my bag at once, but will get cycled through as I finish projects and can get to them.
I'm still plugging away at the Autobiography of Calvin Coolidge and I finished The Unexpected Mrs. Pollifax, which I still loved at the end. It was written in 1966, which is why it didn't have the obnoxious modernisms and anachronisms in it. I just picked up the second book in the series, The Amazing Mrs. Pollifax, which is set in Turkey and also a delight.
