When did July come to town?

My Records Management class has been keeping my nose to the grindstone (last week’s reading assignment was about 300 pages and that’s looking to be typical). I don’t have much left though. I have my topic paper due on the 20th, weekly readings with discussion board postings, one more class meeting at the Presidio, and a take-home final due by the 5th. Yup, nothing quite like the whirlwind that is 16 weeks of information crammed into half the time. *groan*

But I have been working my way through Icarus. I’m about to start the 5th of 5 repeats of the top portion. Then, on to the lace. I’d show you a picture, but we all know it’s just going to look like boiled ass. I am still hoping to have it done before I leave for the wedding cause I don’t really want to be blocking it on a hotel floor.

I am having fun with the yarn (it’s a lace weight 100% tencel I picked up at Stitches West). It has such a nice sheen to it and feels almost like silk when you scruntch it in your hand. Funny enough, though, I haven’t checked to make sure the color (a dusty pink) goes with the dress I picked out. Now to find a nice pin to secure the shawl to the strap of the dress so that it doesn’t shift around during the ceremony. I have to speak in front of a crowd of people (okay, it’s only like 30), and I don’t want to have to worry about where my lace shawl is creeping off to while doing it.

On a SQUEE note, I have a reservation to see Stephanie at Full Thread Ahead in September. Whee! Steph, I’m not sure if you still read my blog since I haven’t posted in like a month, but I know you lamented the lack of a pub visit the last time you where in the San Francisco Bay Area. My husband, the Canadian you outed with the Smarties jingle, has offered to find a good one in the Los Altos area. 🙂
