I’m totally digging this colourway (Lover’s Leap) from Socks That Rock. I so wish I’d purchased more than just two skeins when I ordered this.

The pattern I’m doing is working lovely with this and I think I’m falling in love. **grins**

—
I want to see your face in every kind of light
In fields of dawn and forests of the night
And when you stand before the candles on a cake
Oh, let me be the one to hear the silent wish you make

What are you doing the rest of your life?
North and South and East and West of your life
I have only one request of your life
That you spend it all with me

All the seasons and the times of your days
All the nickels and the dimes of your days
Let the reasons and the rhymes of your days
All begin and end with me

I want to see your face in every kind of light
In the fields of dawn and the forests of the night
And when you stand before the candles on a cake
Oh, let me be the one to hear the silent wish you make

Those tomorrows waiting deep in your eyes
In the world of love that you keep in your eyes
I’ll awaken what’s asleep in your eyes
It may take a kiss or two

Through all of my life
Summer, Winter, Spring, and Fall of my life
All I ever will recall of my life
Is all of my life with you

I finished my father’s birthday present tonight. I am really amazed at how fast the pattern went, and I really like how it turned out. I will make a couple of modifications to the pattern when I work it again. Most notably, the p2tog at the top of the cable pattern that just … well, annoys me. Otherwise it’s great. I am contemplating actually making one for myself.

		Harald Watchcap from Elsebeth Lavold’s Viking Patterns for Knitting.

This Saturday is the day that the Kiri Shawl goes to its intended recipient. For those of you who don’t remember, this is the finished product:

I see all the errors in it with glowing neon brilliance and on more than one occasion tried to convince my sweetie to just burn the thing. He just laughed at me and said he was sure she would love it. I just know this is a huge occasion and it’s a 15 year old receiving it…and I’m being my typical panic ridden self and worrying like mad that she’ll think to herself, “What the hell?” **laughs** Yup, I’m not going to calm down about this until I have his affirmation that it was well received…and a picture of her wearing it and not looking highly pained would be nice as well.

I’ve made some progress on the Harald Watchcap, but I have to say that the instructions for the cables had me doing a wee bit of research. I’m liking how it’s looking in the grey, though – absolutely.

Pallete sampler is on its way to my domicile as I type. Looks like I’ll be starting the log cabin before month’s end.

I’ve finally determined what I’m doing with my skirt and may start on it again this weekend, I’m not certain…and am back to a whopping row 6 on the WRS. After having to start over twice on ths project, I have to say I’m losing some of my enthusiasm for it. However, I keep reminding myself how much I’m going to adore the final project.

My lace panel shirt is to the decrease stage for shaping. I’m trying to decide if I want to take it down to the hip area as a tunic or if I want to keep it standard length. I have a ways to go before I have to make that final decision, and goodness knows I’ve got more than enough yarn no matter which choice I make. **grins** I still shop for knitting projects as if they were crochet projects. In other words: I always have a lot of yarn. It’s very, very rare that I push to the edge of my available yarn, and never have I run out. **snickers**

I have Kate measuring her feet so I can get started on her socks.  She bought some lovely Fleece Artist that I look forward to using.  Yup – a massage and her buying the yarn = handmade socks. **grins**

Anyway – back to the insanity that is my job, today. I slept so tense last night (yes, I really am nervous about her liking the shawl) that I have a headache that is making my stomach rebel…and we have 9500 circuits to rebuild manually today…yup…it’s gonna be a long day.
