Knitting freak out!
At this time last year, I had finished my socks and sweater for the fair. This year? I'm down to the toe... of my first sock. Maybe I'm taking things a bit too seriously, but I love making my fair entries, and I REALLY want to get the Sweepstakes Rosette next year. I just have to get busy. Like REALLY busy. It's not that I haven't been knitting, it's just that I've been working on little things. Perhaps now that my schedule is changing I'll get more done? I'm not sure since I do a LOT of knitting at work. I have to make a decision soon on the shawl/wrap category. What ever the project is going to be will be big and needs to get on the needles soon. I'm considering veering away from my normal lace path, but that's not set in stone.
In other knitting news, after my Dragon*Con adventure, I decided that I was going to make hats for Eve Myles and John Barrowman (the other cast members of Torchwood). I finished Eve's hat, and I hate to even give it away. Mainly, because I LOVE the hat, and to a lesser degree, I'm scared she won't like it. The main reason I don't knit gifts is that I'm always worried that they won't be appreciated. Sure Gareth wore my hat around Dragon*Con, but was he just being nice? Last night I got a message from a woman on LiveJournal who was at a Torchwood convention in the UK this past weekend. She had to let me know that Gareth was wearing my hat! That's a great deal of relief!
Here are the photos of Eve's hat, from fiber to FO.
I've been told twice to write up the pattern. That may actually happen soon. We'll see.
I have more stuff that I can post, but I have to run some errands and get ready for a Halloween party tonight!
