Guh, I am so bad at posting. I was going to try and make a new entry every month. That obviously failed. :/ What have I been doing, though...?
I frogged the socks I was talking about last time. I just decided that I didn't like them, and that the yarn would have a better use for a different project. I might make some lace-ish or cabled armwarmers out of them or something.
I am still working on the Maja shawl. As it gets bigger, and not smaller, as it goes, though, I can only really do a row or two at a time before I go crazy and have to switch projects. There does appear to be a mistake in the pattern. The 4W thingies are supposed to be in multiples of eight, to make the row after them work, but have yet to actually BE in a multiple of eight. So I have to recount the stitches every time and figure out how many wrapped stitches I'm actually supposed to do.
Secret Santa project is underway. It will be quite quick to do once I actually sit and work on it. I might bring it and work on it in my two hour gap at school on Monday, since I can't work on it on Saturday at knitting...
I started my scrapghan! I'm using my leftover/acrylic worsed(ish) weight yarn and making a blanket out of it! :D I'm not super far yet, but I did start it, and I managed to not twist the join, like I was worried about. I didn't want to deal with the longtail cast on that I usually do with that many stitches, so I just did the loopy one that I used to do. I like it so far! I'm on my third ball out of who knows how many.
I also taught myself to crochet a couple of days ago! I've had the "Happy Hooker" book for a while, but had so many knitting projects that I didn't really have time to mess with it. But I crocheted a hat! I am happy with it, actually. Ellie also demanded that I make her one, so I'm working on a second one of the same design. I'm trying to teach myself to make a granny square so that I can finally start work on that pixel afghan that I am so excited about.
...Wow, I really didn't say anything interesting. >.< Sorry!
