tuesdays are the days for blogging

well, at least it looks like it is so. with only one class and a work schedule that often doesn't include tuesdays, here i am at my leisure to write a few paragraphs, as it were.

now only if i had something to say....

i started the garden of alla shawl on ravelry - it has it's own peculiar difficulties so far, but it being my first lace project i am going to withhold judgment until i've gone a little farther in the pattern. be ready for status updates and an eventual pattern review. it's a fairly popular pattern on ravelry, so i don't expect i'll be saying much of anything that's new, but, oh well, each person's opinion can add something to the pot.

i haven't been ignoring my new year's resolution, i just haven't done anything about it. nice save, hm? i plan on making a big dent in my work-less day today. i might even use sewing as relief from studying.

other projects proceed apace - there's the weekend cardigan from lion brand, i'm a few inches from adding ribbing to the bottom, then it just needs sleeves and bands, the garter-stitch scarf is still going, though mostly i use that at relief. i seem to exhibit an extreme inconstancy when it comes to knitting. i get sick of stockinette, so i switch to garter. i'm tired of endless simplicity, so i throw in some cables. i get weary of thick, heavy patterns and switch to some lace. sooner or later, something will get done!

i'd really like to try some lemon-vanilla-mint marmalade. i think that would be tasty, but i'm not sure what it would/could go on other than cake.

anyway, projects await.
