Bad pun. I couldn’t help it. Despite Cable-Eight, the frogging of the VCC, and the other knitting commitments I have, I started something new.

I started the Flower Basket Shawl for the fifth time or so. This time it’s actually going to see completion. There were issues with the last few times, such as needles too small, yarn too variegated… But this time, I think we’ve got it. It’s about time.

I’ve been dreaming of lace knitting, but that’s nothing new. I’m always dreaming of lace knitting. I’m hoping that this project will tame the beast within for awhile. It isn’t intricate, but it’s a small project that should go quickly, and I’ll enjoy it until I can get my hands on something more intense. I have a number of friends I would like to give the Flower Basket to, so I’m not sure exactly where it will end up yet.

I finished yet another gift for Mother’s Day. No photo. Use your imagination. It’s green.

Veronica was a little princess yesterday.

I like having her home while the other two are at school. It’s such a great opportunity to see her individual personality without the competition or distraction of the sibs. She is fully aware of my feelings in this matter, and uses it to her advantage on a daily basis. She’s a lot of fun.
