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*<\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
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<\/a>. 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.<\/p>\n On a SQUEE note, I have a reservation to see Stephanie<\/a> at Full Thread Ahead<\/a> 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. \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 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).
