Look what I got done while at the laundromat this evening:

(It’s worth looking at the big version of this picture, so I made it clickable. When you get there, click on “all sizes” above the pic for a bigger view.)
I was just about to keep working on this when I realized that I really should be working on a rainbow blanket at home since carrying two skeins of each colour around with me just isn’t practical… no matter how ridiculous I look while making broomstick lace. For those not familiar with the technique, basically you lift loops onto a fat knitting needle (in this case, I’m using a 50mm needle) so that they’re all the same size. Well, the best way I’ve found for doing that part of the job is to rest the butt of the needle on the seat of the chair I’m sitting on.
It makes for a nice mental picture, doesn’t it? For those of you who don’t know what I’m talking about: well, congratulations on always getting such a high score on those silly “purity” tests that you find all over the internet. ^_-
Anyhow, let’s see how much of that rainbow round ripple I get done tonight, shall we?

11 Blankets in 2011

There may be a flaw in my plan to crochet that RRR blanket tonight, and the flaw is called “So You Think You Can Dance”.
I have such a soft spot for dancing!
