At least, nothing to blog about. Should be interesting to see how long I can ramble on about that.
I've been blearily knitting away on the scarf. I'm using a 'falling leaves' pattern from "Charted Knitting Designs" by Barbara Walker (are we worshiping her yet? Shouldn't we be by now?) Unfortunately any but the most obvious stitch definition is lost in all that damn mohair fuzz, so instead of diagonal leaves I've got a buncha friggin' squares. All you can see are yarnovers and anonymous knit fabric. You can't even tell if it's knit or purl unless you hold it under the Ott Lite and practically press your nose to it. I'm seriously tempted to do the next scarf with random yarnovers and call it a pattern and see how it looks.
The gansey sleeve is languishing again. My excuse is, the cat's sleeping in my knitting spot.
Maybe I'll go knit something.

Barbara Walker for President, that's what I think. Or the baby.
I started to crochet a scarf out of a thick acryllic yarn yesterday to give to a student...
And then I remembered that I currently hate all of the above nouns, and stopped.
Some projects are born to be TOADs.
I'm hoping to spend the weekend knitting - every spare moment of every day - when I'm not sleeping, that is - sleeping & knitting - now THAT'S a weekend.
Cats are the best "why I can't knit right now" excuse ever!
the question begs Julie - why mohair if you don't like how it hides the pattern????
I've been away for a week. Lots of catching up to do! Love the cat photo!
There is even a pattern for random lace! Yes, there is: http://www.lusciousgracious.com/random.htm
