Finishing up bee blocks for the MBB2:

Bee Blocks!
Bee Blocks!

Finally getting to work on items for my FTLOS2 swap partner.  Here’s the biggie, and I’m just about done!

FTLOS2 Quilting Detail.

And here’s one of the smaller items I’m sending along to her as well.  I really love those zip pulls I got from zipit!  Used the fantastic tutorial from noodlehead.  This is like the 5th zip pouch I’ve made.

And I finally started another knitting project.  I’m not sure why I’m torturing myself with lace.  But this yummy, squishy sock yarn (Madelinetosh Tosh Sock in Lepidoptra) is so so pretty.  I’m making the Haruni Shawl and here’s my Ravelry project page if you’re on Rav.  (And if you’re on Rav, friend me!  I’ll friend ya back!)  Can I just say that I’ve only been working on this for 2 days and I’ve already ripped it out and started over 3 times?  Yeah, see that pink embroidery floss? That’d be a lifeline. I’m sick of redoing the garter tab start! Gah!

more lace knitting....

And yes, I’ve been running.  But not nearly enough for my 1/2 marathon in 4 days.  Double Gah!

Running!

How’s your week so far?

    The little star blocks are lovely.
    I love knitting lace when it works it’s so satisfying….sadly for me it always goes wrong and I get fed up of pulling it appart and eventually give up.
    Good luck with the 1/2 marathon eek! Let us know how you get on.

    Just for the record…love your sneak peek of the FTLOS2 project!

::The Name::

Five Baht Elephant. My mother is from Thailand, where elephants are royal animals. Growing up Mom would tell us to save our pennies, "in case a man came to our door selling elephants." At the time we thought it was the most absurd thing ever. Now I realize it was the Thai version of saving for a rainy day. Lets hope that we can buy an elephant for only five baht!
