A F.O.!
Lo and behold, it's a skullcap. I even tried it on briefly to make sure it does its job, and it does indeed. Even when I finish something as basic as a hat, I'm rather impressed with myself. And this one's for a good cause, so I'm doubly pleased.
I'm not pleased, however, about the snow, nor am I pleased about the fact that a colleague has to take the day off for personal reasons, so I don't get that extra day off I was supposed to have. All work and no knitting makes Jon a dull boy.
Anyhow, I'm trying to decide what's next: should I pick up one of my current projects, which are all for rather wintery weater, or should I pick up the chartreuse Butterfly and start the Polka Purl Dots? I might actually be able to get it done for summer.
And the silk from eBay came, so there's always the draw of the new yarn in the house. It's really quite lovely, and it looks like a good quantity of yarn -- but it's only 5 skeins, as far as I can figure, when the auction was supposedly for 10. And it doesn't look like it'll be fun (or easy) to wind.
Maybe I'll just finish the afghan square next.
