Updates

Earlier I mentioned that I have a few projects I'd like to finish before moving this weekend. One of them is done, the gray "throw blanket," which ended up being smaller than I had imagined, so it's really more of a lap blanket. And it's hot as hell in a hand basket. And pretty ugly, and rhombus-shaped. I may be "accidentally" losing it in the near future. And it will get found in a donation bin.

The bag for my cousin Anna is coming along. I'm making the pattern up as I go, and it's been interesting. I hate sewing pieces together; instead, I've been picking up stitches where a seam would otherwise go. It's been working all right, I guess. I'm working on the shoulder strap, the last part.

And the oft-mentioned Hermione sweater is coming along rather well. I decided to make it short sleeved, since it'll be summer soon, and after that I'll be moving to Southern California. I'm down to my belly, the end is in sight!

In other news, I finished my French thesis today. That was exciting.
