shameless consumption

Work continues on Big Blue, the unphotogenic everlasting project. Meanwhile, I was hit by a sudden craving to make an aran. (It's doubtful that I'd ever finish an aran, but it does no harm to swatch cables every so often.) I took out one of the Walker Treasuries from the library and have had several pleasant hours leafing through cable possibilities while sipping iced tea in this sweltering heat. Conincidentally, this weekend I got a letter stating that my student loans are at last paid off. HOORAY! One less monthly bill. Wow, ten years went fast. In order to celebrate, I decided to buy all four of the Walker Treasuries, volumes I've been saving up for for some time. Can't wait to have these four as part of my textile library.
