Happy Days Allyson!

I am about 1/3 of the way through a wide scarf/wrap thing for my mom. It is just straight knitting, no pattern, but the yarn is a chenille that hangs and pulls while being knitted, so it produces a somewhat openwork effect, spider-webby. I am really happy with it, but it is taking a while to kniot since I can't easily take it on the subway anymore (it's approaching 24" long and is at least 20" wide).

I have a few unfinished projects: lining a hat for mac with fleece (it's "itchy"), adding a decorative band to each end of a scarf I finished last year for myself, sewing patches on many pairs of mac's pants...

Punishingly Intricate

Happy birthday, Allyson!

I've always thought decoupage is one craft I might not be half bad at. I've never gotten up the gumption to actually try it though.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am really happy with it, but it is taking a while to kniot since I can't easily take it on the subway anymore (it's approaching 24" long and is at least 20" wide).

For a while, I was semi-regularly seeing a woman pull out an enormous piece of knitting on the train -- maybe a man's sweater? I tried not to stare. But it was ENORMOUS. Either she finished, gave it up on the commute, or we have just been off each other's schedules....

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Happy birthday, Allyson!

This is why hats, socks or mittens are so much better to do on the go.
