i know it's everywhere, but i adore ravelry. it's just what i've been looking for. i still have a lot to add, so i'm hoping to get that done this weekend.

in other news, the hourglass sweater is done and blocking. i had over 70 ends to weave in (why do i knit garments in cotton?) and just doing that and seaming the underarms took over two hours. it was brutal. at least it's finished. unfortunately, the shine worsted really holds onto water, so it's still really wet. i blocked it thursday night and i don't know if it will even be done drying by tomorrow. no fun.

i moved the hourglass sweater from my blocking board to the guest bed so that i could use the board to block the first half of the clementine shawl. it looks pretty good. it will definitely be dry before the hourglass sweater. now i just need to cast on for the second half.

my airy wrap-around lace sweater is still on hold. i think the clementine shawl will be my on-the-go project and i'll focus on the airy sweater when i'm at home.
