Earl is dead
Isn’t that a Dixie Chicks song? Hmm. Well, I wanted to get Earl done this weekend and was nearly there. I was seaming it up, and not liking it the closer and closer I got to being finished. As I was sewing the handle on I just realized that this was not meant to be. This is not the right yarn for this project. The bag would have ended up too flippy-floppy and I don’t like that at all. I began unraveling it and ran into all sorts of trouble. Recycled silk doesn’t like being unraveled. So, in a fit of frustration, I shoved it in the stash drawer. Ironically, it is sitting next to another yarn that I used for a bag gone bust, Bertie. Maybe I just should not knit bags. Anyway, I will put this away for awhile. I’m done with it.
In the meantime, I finished the right-front of Lucky Clover. Here’s a pic of it blocking. I haven’t casted on yet for the left front but will soon. I don’t know if I am going to spend a whole lot of time knitting it, though, because I have to get some baby things knitted up for my SIL’s baby shower in May. It’s exactly a month away and I am pretty behind.
I got kind of alot done on BBBB over the weekend. So that’s good. I also want to get some more of this Encore in a pink (I just found out she is having a girl 
) and knit this baby pullover from CTH II. Isn’t that baby soooo adorable? I think I will also knit some matching booties.
Okay, that’s all I’ve got for now. Hope you are all having a nice weekend! I, on the other hand have to work today (reference desk duties). I only get a one-day weekend. Bummer.
