Watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical, a liberal, fanatical, criminal...

Last Wednesday I showed two projects whose fate was then undecided. It's done been done now. The blue blob floating in the frog pond has been rewound and partially reknit. The next peek at Mystery Tank #8 -



Not much has happened since - I ran out of purple. Aw, I have to stop by Hobby Lobby this afternoon? What a chore.

The other project from that post has since been finished! It's in need of a good blocking and the flash turned the floor green, but the design shows pretty well -



Part of "Heart Doily" from Nicky Epstein's "Knitting for Your Home". Like most doily patterns, it called for fine yarn and #1 dpns. I used dishcloth cotton and quit after 44 of 74 rounds. I'd really love to do a doily in the proper size, but I'm holding off until I find Addis in that size and long enough to use for lace also. (Any disenchanted Magic Loopers have a spare #0 or #1 in 47" or 60"? I'll love you forever.)

Thank y'all all for the kind comments about the cardi! On a totally tangential note, for as long as I've been working on the raglan I've not shown or mentioned it to anybody at the SnB. It'll be interesting this evening to see what the regulars say. I'll spare y'all my predictions on who will say what.


Yoinked from Stephy, Helen, Joeli, and Smoochies. Like Stephy, I'm doing Jimmy Buffett (teeheehee)... but to make it a bit harder, I'm only using songs I have on LP.

As if having a thing like that in this post couldn't be bad enough... gratuitous cat pictures! This is Freckie, the unfortunate male middle cat.
