I am home now, yay! Well, home as in Los Angeles–at this very second, I’m actually at work.
I have a list of things I need to accomplish before I can do my own projects again:
- a scarf for my sister using yarn she purchased at Webs a couple of weeks ago and a pattern from a crochet magazine (Crochet Today? Interweave Crochet? I forget, they all blend together for me);
- a hat, also for my sister, to match the scarf I gave her for Xmas, using the leftover Lion Suede;
- and a hat for my friend K to match the scarf I gave her for her birthday (fingers crossed that there’s enough yarn left over).
I think I’m free as a bird after that to tackle my own projects, such as:
- finishing my UMass scarf;
- doing something, I don’t know what, with the yarn I bought from Webs;
- tackling my first-ever sweater (I already have the yarn, I just need a pattern);
- finishing my gazillion WIPs;
- and a little (translation: verra ambitious) project I’ve been contemplating for awhile, an intarsia wall-hanging (haven’t decided on a pattern yet–I waver between two or three color movie-poster-theme and multi-color recreation of a work of art).
That last one is the one I’m most excited about, but it really will be a big and scary undertaking (that will require much yarn to boot), so I don’t know when that one will happen. Hopefully in 2008, though.
I also have to figure out what to do with my now largish collection of felted handbags, since I didn’t give away nearly as many as I’d expected to for the holidays. I don’t need that many bags myself, that’s for sure, but I don’t feel comfortable selling them since all but one were made from other people’s patterns. I may yet find people to give them to, or I may use them for some charitable purpose. Or, I may continue my lazy ways, stick them in a bag in a closet, and forget about them until next Christmas. Who knows?
And finally, since this blog is horribly boring enough without including any photos, here’s a picture of my sister’s cat Gabby. Gabby likes to talk (a lot!), is always begging for food, and has the largest eyes any of us have ever seen on a cat. In fact, her vet even examined them for oddities since even he had never seen such large eyes and was afraid she might be in pain (no evidence of this, though).
One reply on “My To Do list for 2008”
Hi,
Saw your sister’s cat photo. We do laser engraving and this photo would make a great etching. Would you email us a high resolution copy to use for an engraving? See our website for examples of photo engraving.
Thank you.
