Vacation Blues

You'd think I'd be a little more productive with all this time on my hands.  That, it seems, is the problem.  6 shortcake biscuits, 1 bowl of custard, and 2 peach (peach/pecan/bourbon?  how Deep South can we get?) pound cakes later, and I am...wet-blocking double-secret-probation project.  Been wet-blocking it since night before last, I think.  One of these days, I'll get the moisture ratio right.

Also on the needles: Claudette wrist-warmer #1!  Though it turns out my only sufficient skeins of Moda-Dea novelty yarn are of a colorway more Renoir than Monet.  Come to think of it, it's more Klimt than Renoir.  Methinks I might have to rename the result, though honestly I'll wear them just the same.  Unless somebody decides to auction them off again.  Which is entirely possible.

Well, since discussing double-secret-probie project (DSP?  I'm lazy.) is right out and I am decidedly lacking in pictures of everything else I'm procrastinating on, I decided to start a new blog.  This one is pretty much all pictures.  Woohoo!  Spent way more time than I can really justify on the panels for Episode 1.  But really, when I was torching my wet-block monstrosity, I kept thinking in bad puns, and the result was "Dr. Strangeknits: Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Embrace the Laceweight."  You may find it here.

On that note, perhaps it's time to figure out how to make productive use of my remaining vacation.
