What I Have Been Doing Instead of What I Ought
It turns out that trying to mail that many packages, "all in one go," was a stupid and naive plan.
I've sent about half of them.
Hopefully the rest will trickle out over the next few days.
I so enjoyed all the lovely emails (most of which I have not yet answered -- bad me!), that I am sending something to everyone. (At least to those of you who sent me addresses. If you forgot, please still email me your address. If I had an email from you earlier, I figure you're in the que.) Hopefully you will like what you get. If you don't, foist it off on some other poor soul -- no white elephants is my motto. (One of them, anyway. There's also, "Aaawwwwww, do I hafta?")
Right.
So, all those packages were stressing me out (just kidding -- there was/is some other stuff bugging me that I won't go into), so instead of dealing with any of the mess head-on, of course I spent my valuable problem-solving time and energy knitting instead.
You might recognize this as the Mason-Dixon Flying Geese pattern, only this is in Rowan's Felted Tweed rather than the Harris Tweed the pattern calls for. I like it better.
No, no! I'm not actually making this blanket.
This is only a swatch.
That's my story.
And I'm sticking to it.
A swatch, people.
Just a rather large swatch.
Move along.
Nothing to see here.

I hope all the messiness goes away soon, Miss Roberts.
Your flyin' geese look better than any I ever quilted. *L*
Nice swatch. ;^)
Ooh, I have been eyeing that pattern in MDK as well....I'll be interested to read your thoughts!
Love the swatch. Glad to see you handling stress constructively.

I'd like to know how fast you knit. You're just So Productive. I'm in awe. and quite smitten with that swatch.
The swatch is lovely! (I must get the Mason-Dixon book, as soon as I have a bit of spare money...)
