I’m convinced, like many people, that I’m the only one with a crazy desk. I’m sure that anyone who sees it is thinking to themselves, “OMG, she is truly crazy. No one could possibly work in a space like that.” This impression is not helped by my few friends who live the peaceful, beautiful life (without children) and who can organize things without children adding their own particular embellishments to the space.
Last night, as I was doing some work on the computer, Girlfriend decided that I needed some Littlest Pet Shops on the teetering paper piles on my desk (which is actually part of the kitchen counter). Don’t you think they add just the right bit of je ne sais quois to the whole thing?
In other news, I finished dAhub’s socks. Men’s socks sure take a long time due to their size. Note that dAhub chose the colorway:
Pattern: Of my own making, drawing on the Twisted Rib stitch in Charlene Schurch’s Sensational Knitted Socks
Yarn: Lorna’s Laces Shepherd Sock in Flames colorway (it kind of pooled in interesting ways)
Needles: 0 Addi Turbos (I use the Magic Loop method)
Also, I finally got a picture of the Peace Shawl I finished this summer:
Pattern: Peace Shawl, from Fiber Trends
Yarn: Zephyr (50% wool, 50% silk)in purple
Needle: what were called for in pattern (aka, I can’t remember)
Pretty, isn’t it? I love it. If you look closely, you can see the word “Peace” running around the edges. The pattern describes the shawl as people holding hands in a forest under a night sky of stars. And you can really see it. I gave the to a friend for whom the pattern must have been made. Every time she wears it I am thrilled at how perfect it is for her.
Wow. I actually posted two finished object pics in one day. I have to go lie down to recover from the enormity of it all.
