Brief update

Stornaway sweater for DH
It's ribbing. Endless, boring, mind-numbing, 2x2 ribbing. At least I have a picture:


That's about two inches. It may be boring, but I'm making progress. 3/4 of an inch left to go before things get interesting.

Garden Shawl for MIL
The shawl has now reached that stage where each row feels like it takes forever. However, with about 45 rows still to go I know perfectly well that it will get impossibly worse before it's over. The good news is that it looks really, really pretty:


Self-patterning socks for DD
I've run out of yarn for sock #1 and only have about half an inch of ribbing done. However, I'm not panicked because, with the extra yarn I found, it gives me two balls for each sock plus a little extra. I'm going to use the 'little extra' to do more ribbing. But first I want to do the same amount on the second sock, and then we'll divide up the 'little extra' into two and push forward on both top ribbings.

Self-patterning socks #2 for DH
Toe is complete, foot is moving along.

Okay, now that? Just made me laugh and laugh. I'm not even close to the 45 rows left and impossibly worse is the best description EVER.

But the good news is that it really does look pretty. Very pretty.
