Of a cottage on the shore.. of a dark... Scottish laaaaake....

Oh, the Police when they were cool. Before Sting went all soft. Oh well.

We're Waiting.

Oh, hi. And welcome. Want a tasty beverage?

High Energy Jenny has been Exhausted Jenny. Many crazy nights at work, especially the weekend of Auburn v. Georgia. My ER full of drunk teens, mostly. We all felt pickled, there was so much alcohol around.

However, because I am being really really good and being Knit-one-thing-at-a-time-or-mostly-so Jenny, I have finished twenty-eight TWENTY-NINE of 31 repeats on Madli's shawl!!!! I want to have it done by this weekend, because the husband will be out of town and I can block it on the bed. Priorities, you know.

I'll show a pic when it's all done.

I added a few new things to the Gallery so you might look around there, if'n you have time.

Picture, or we leave.

Ok, I did start a new fun set of mittens from IK Winter 2004. My LYS made me. Well, okay, maybe didn't make me exactly. But they were having a "buy 5 get 5" so, really, I call that coercion, don't you?

The cuffs are corregated ribbing, which I hadn't done before, and I learned the Norweigan purl to be more efficient at it. And it worked. A new way to purl. I love it. Here's a link to the .pdf for the technique: Hi, click me for the .pdf.

I am doing a little at a time on these, but I really am working steadily on Madli. Then, I have a list:

1. My sister's "Stripes Go Round"
2. A shrug my friend Theressa has commanded me wants me to make.
3. A Klaralund for my mom.
4. That turtleneck shrug deal from Scarf Style.
5. Finish Honeysuckle before another winter goes by.

Not necessarily in this order. And subject to change. And there are a FEW knits in the wings, of course... I'll tell ya, though, it's pretty cool how fast things go if you do just one at a time, huh? Pretty neat trick, that.
