I'm very pleased with how it turned out. Both it and the secret project will be blocked tonight, and I'm hoping blocking will tidy up the lace panel. On my to-do list for the week is to write up the pattern for this so that I can get photos this weekend and get everything off to my tech editor. I'm hoping to release the pattern later this month, so there's no time to waste!
The WIPs that are still lingering are my Floozy (which, let's face it, isn't getting done anytime soon) and my other secret project, which I'll be trying to get done as soon as possible. I'll likely be casting on a new project or two soon. I pulled some worsted weight skeins for a couple of charity hats, and I also want to start a new pair of socks for the Lots of Socks KAL.
I finished another book last week while working on the above hat. I finally got Where the Crawdads Sing from the library, and I have to say that I was a little underwhelmed. I'd call it a good beach read -- entertaining but not fine literature. I enjoyed the story, but I didn't love the ending. I gave it three stars. Now I'm back to Michelle Obama's Becoming, which is slower going because it's a physical book that I'm only reading before bed. But I'm enjoying it immensely!
I love how that hat turned out but I am so sad that you did not enjoy Where the Crawdads Sing as much as I did.
ReplyDeleteAnd, thanks for the reminder of the sock casting on! I wanted to pull out some coordinating skeins to cast on your Trap a Zoid socks!
Your hat turned out beautifully! I'm pretty sure that Becoming will be a more satisfying read than Crawdads. Savor and enjoy!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty, Sarah! and bummer about Crawdads. It's our May bookclub book.
