One of the things that happens when you lose track of reality for a bit is that I spend so much time actually talking to myself in my head that I sort of stop needing to talk to myself on the internet. Hence the fact that I have not kept track of my projects here at all for a while, and I'm sure the way I'm now italicizing like some idiotic Recency heroine has something to do with it. Because while I am no longer spinning in circles, I'm still trying to figure out which way is up.
Most fun news - I finished the Thing That Was Supposed To Be Done For Christmas For My Mom. (aka a Waves of Grain scarf in Knitpicks' Shimmer (colorway Sherry) and damn if I don't desperately want to do something with the colorway Blue Glass because it practically glows.) Anyway, the scarf turned out well, but is as of yet unblocked, so I'll wait to photodocument until there are actually photographs.
The method for grafting-in-lace described it extremely clever, and is otherwise awesome because it worked really well, and the times when I don't screw up when trying to graft things I feel like a queen.
In other news, I finished a pair of Endpaper Mitts, and learned a new cast-off and cast-on. Also they are supremely cool,very warm, and not bulky due to fitting snugly and being knit out of fingering weight wool. They were also my first bit of two-color knitting in a really, really, really long time. So they were fun.
One of these days, I am going to do a sort of year in review post of the stuff I've knitting/finished this year. And I'm going to title it something like Tragic Love Stories Are Only Nice If They Are Not Actually Your Life, just because I can.
