...and then perhaps another 2 steps forward.
The other night I was finishing up Sly's scarf. The one that's black with a red stripe. The one that I didn't make long enough so I thought, it's ok I'll just crochet some more and attach it one way or another. I wove the ends in, I crocheted two rows to the correct ends of each piece and rejoiced that I would soon have another Finished Object! I was in the process of sewing them together when I realized the two pieces weren't aligned properly. I re-seamed several times before I [stupidly] realized I was one row short on the extension piece. . . one row of the red stripe. Of course, that means the majority of the piece will have to be frogged and re-crocheted. Thankfully it shouldn't take too long. Now my only problem is getting around to un-weaving the ends.
The Nightwish concert is Sunday! I still have half the lace cuff to finish. The piece still needs to be blocked. Lawrence and I spent all of tonight cleaning out the closet. That's just fine and peachy and normally I would love to get the apartment cleaned but I've got a damn wrap to finish by Sunday and I don't want to stay up all night doing it! Tomorrow I've got to go to my parents' place because it's my deceased grandmother's birthday. We're going to go visit her grave site, maybe have lunch. They might play mah-jong in the afternoon. Maybe I'll have time to finish this wrap and maybe I won't. Even if I have time to finish the crocheting I won't be able to block it there. I'll bring a few other projects to work on, maybe the amigurumi or the scarves.
Sunday is also the Weaving and Fiber Festival, hosted by the Southern California Handweavers' Guild. The ladies in the Los Angeles group on Ravelry have been saying it's worth going so I've convinced Lawrence to drive me all the way down to Torrance for it. If I block the wrap on Saturday night, it should be finished in time for Sunday night, eh? Hopefully.
