the burdens we carry

In this case, many pounds of wool yarn that I am hoping to give away at my lunchtime knitting group. If you recall the recent studio makeover, you'll be aware that extreme reorganization recently occurred in my textile world. I came across lots of bulky wool yarn that has been in my possession for... a long long time. Thinking back over the kinds of things I've been knitting recently, I had to admit that I am much more likely to knit something with size 1 needles than size 10. Please somebody take this lovely wool yarn! I don't want to carry it home, it's too heavy and besides I got all hot and overworked lugging the bag through the sad sinking snow.

I've been working on the Big Blue Orenburg recently, and I've discovered the rythyms of the pattern again, which makes it a pleasure. The center has concentric diamonds, four of them, and one way of judging my progress is by looking at how many diamonds I've completed. Currently, two. No pictures, because lace all bunched up looks like a big heap of nothing exciting. I'm already dreaming about what the next shawl will be.
