More than sporadic

So although posting has been spotty of late, it's going to get worse. Wednesday, my mom and I leave for Hawaii, where I will be watching my 'little brother' get married on the beach. I'm working on their gift, and because they might see it, I'm not going to post a photo (it's on ravelry). It's turning out nice. We're staying through sunday, and get back late. I'll work for another week, and then be off for three weeks. There will hopefully be time for knitting amongst the festivities. 18 days. It's pretty crazy to think about.

I finished the handfasting scarf. it's just barely long enough. looks good though.
I'm quite pleased. It's stretchy, so it'll work. I've also started a leftover sock yarn blanket project. mitered squares. it'll be nice and warm. It's a little weird, working on a project that has no definite end. someday, i'll just decide it's done and put a border on it. but for now...
Madrona was the weekend before last (thanks to marti for the sock blanket inspiration). I took classes every day, and was completely exhausted by the time Sunday came around. Lots of color classes, fair isle and intarsia. And i learned a knew way to knit from the yarn harlot...she called it lever knitting. I haven't done much with it, but it's good to know another new skill. Jen and I saw this sign...which summed things up quite nicely.
