It’s Here!

My Mermaid kit arrived yesterday. Only 12 balls of yarn, will it ever be enough? And such a fine gauge as well. The pattern specifies 3mm needles and wouldn’t you know, my size 2 Addis are with a friend. And I thought I had some size 3s somewhere, but can’t find them. That’s all moot anyway, as I also don’t have appropriate DPNs. So I’m not casting on tonight.

In fact, I’ve decided that I have to finish up a couple of other things before I’m allowed to do much more than swatch. I’m finishing up the little scarf I’m working on for my niece. A night or two more on that, probably. And I decided that it’s time to finish Zig Zag.

I pulled it out over the weekend and took a look. I’ve got 3-4 inches done on the sleeves, shouldn’t take too much effort to knock it out. Really. Just in case you forgot, this is what it looked like last time I took photos…

Sleeves (sorry it’s so washed out):

Now let’s see how long my will power endures…

    You can do it! Think about how fast you can finish this up with the back and front already done! It’s going to be gorgeous!

    Weren’t you working on that at my house while we watched football. BACK WHEN I LIVED IN L.A.?

    I shouldn’t pretend to be shocked. I have projects older than my niece.

    Zig Zag? No, couldn’t be. My notes clearly state I started it 1/2005. Which, admittedly, is much more recently than I remembered.
