She's a cunning kitty.
My swap package has been sent, and according to the tracking info, received, but I've gotten no confirmation from Ravelry. Is she staring at the contents in disbelief, and too disgusted with my inept handling of the assignment to say anything? Is everything sea green? Is her internet out? Does she have a life outside of Ravelry that is keeping her away? No one told me swaps were so aggravating, argh . . .
Today was the deadline for sending things out, so I should be receiving a package sometime in the next week. I'm so excited and curious to see what my partner picked out for me. I hope it's purple, but I love all kinds of colors, so if it isn't purple I won't be at all disappointed. I almost wish I'd said 'orange' and left it at that, just to open a box and see nothing but orange. Orange is an unexpected color. I love color.
I finally finished this darn bookmark.
Who knew second sock syndrome could be caught by such a small target? My tension and row counts were inconsistent, so they don't quite match, but I'm just so happy to have another UFO off the board that I don't care. It's a bookmark. I'm happy.
Since that didn't take up all of my Wednesday, I also wove all the ends in on Jenn's finished mitten, and worked a couple more rows on the thumb of the unfinished one. Have I mentioned that I hate those mittens? I'm so glad I don't have to work on them again until next Thursday. On the bright side, it's been so crisp and cool in the mornings that working on mittens is sounding charming again. I can't wait to get back to work on my Hermione mittens. I wish I had taken better notes (or any notes at all . . . ) on the first one. I'm more or less starting from scratch with the second, except for the knowledge that I added eight stitches to begin with, and I can read cables pretty competently. There's going to be some guesswork, though, and that makes me antsy.
Silas is rolling over these days.
He doesn't really look where he's going yet.
