Oh wonders will never cease. I actually have a project full of soft and lovely yarnage to report on.

I started this shawl the evening before the house broke. It’s out of lace weight handspun gray alpaca and the pattern has been spawned from my tiny aching brains. I spent way too much time staring at fiddlehead ferns and the laced patterns on the chickens, so this pattern which has elements of both but is not completely reflective of either emerged.

If I were judge it at the moment it would be destined for a good ripping and I would salvage the yarn now. But there’s something about blocking that gives me hope that it’ll turn out, at least enough hope that I’m graphing a record of the construction praying that it’ll be a desirable pattern, worthy of this much effort on my part.

I added about 5 rows to it in the wee hours of this day. Now, I feel like that’s something to blog about.

Oh yeah, and I applied to continue my education. I’m seeking an AA with a business concentration. Cool huh? C’est tres cool, mes amis.

(Oui. My francais is hideous, thank you for noticing.)

If you wouldn’t mind praying to the dark overlords of financial aid, I could use whatever intercession can be mustered on my behalf. Thanks, I appreciate it.
