What can I say that hasn’t already been said about the Bee In Fields Shawl? Well, I can say that it’s finished and blocked.
Pattern: Bee In Fields by Anne Hanson
Yarn: Laceweight from Handpaintedyarn.com in Olive
Needles: size 5US/3.75mm
Started: August 20, 2007
Finished: September 19, 2007
Size: Tall
I decided to make the larger of the two sizes since I had the yarn. Plus, the shawl will cover my rear end, thus negating the arrow pointing to said portion of my body.
This was incredibly fun to knit and I have to admit to a case of post-project depression. I can only hope for more beautiful triangle shawls from the indubitable Anne. Though I might be able to console myself with some of her rectangular stoles.
In the meantime, I’ve been contemplating my next big lace project. I’m thinking something from A Gathering of Lace. I’m thinking the Sampler Stole would look fabulous in some of my Yubina yarn. It looks like it will be a challenging project, but that’s what makes it so attractive.
While I have that stewing in the brain, I’ll be working on getting some of my current projects off the needles. I already managed to finish one project over the weekend, but I’ll not say much about it in this post as it deserves more then just a brief mention.
Hopefully I’ll have even more to say about the weekend another day. Right now my brain is stumbling over words and nothing is coming out right. I think this is because I still haven’t gotten enough sleep. I will say that I really disliked one of the movies we saw.
(Rant warning.) Perfect Stranger was really disturbing in a depressing and pathetic way. While the acting was superb, none of the characters had a single redeeming feature. They all displayed the worst of what makes us human and it left me feeling hopeless and angry. Maybe it’s naive of me to want to see the the best of human nature in at least one facet of one of the protagonists. Either way, I was very disappointed in the movie. (End rant.)
I normally don’t go on about movies, but this one really bothered me. If anyone else has seen this movie, I’d love to hear your take on it.
If you’ve read this far down, I commend you. Who knew I had all that blather in me? Must be the sleep deprivation.
