Finishing

Finishing takes an unexpectedly long time to get through. Since Lawrence was out last night, I stayed up till 1am finishing some projects. I starched my doily and set it to dry on some plastic wrap. I wove in the ends at the center of the Sahara sweater, where you seam up the neckline, and I let it soak in water. It's drying on a cut open trash bag on the ground (thankfully I have concrete floors). I still need to seam my 2nd Noro entrelac wrist warmer, weave in the ends to a pair of socks, soak/block and attach ribbons to my Butterfly Wrap (yeah, that one has been sitting around for a LONG time).

I was going to organize my yarn and dig out the stuff I'll never use...but that didn't happen. Finishing stuff took way too long. Well, then again I was chatting online. Heh. I considered getting a lap loom so I could use up those random yarns by weaving them together. It sounds like a quick & dirty way to get rid of large quantities of different colored & textured yarns. Then I can make things like pillows, placemats, etc.
