Quietish

I’ve gotten a fair bit of work done on Calla and I expect I’ll have her done sometime this week, especially since Justin is out of town again.

Calla is one of those projects that feel like it’s crawling even though it’s actually probably going pretty fast. With this finish being on the horizon and only having one other thing (simple sock) on the needles, I’ve spent some time wondering what I’ll work on next.

I have the yarn for Justin’s sweater, which I had decided I could put off til the end of Summer or so. I have the yarn for Eunny’s Deep V Vest but don’t particularly feel like working on something I won’t wear til October at the very earliest. I’ve also sort of been itching to start another big lace project. It’s been awhile and I love me some lace.

At the same time, I’m feeling a bit blah about starting anything major just now. It would be nice not to have a work-in-progress hanging over my head. I uploaded some of my completed cross stitch pictures (just the ones with dragons so far) to Flickr the other day to show the Leaky Crafty Witches, which has got me thinking about working on cross stitch things for awhile. Over the last month I have been putting stitches into a Gryffindor crest for the SAL Harry Potter Crafts has going, and I can’t even tell you how long it’s been since I picked up Fortunate Traveler. I’d love to make some headway on those.

I’ll get it figured out.

In the meantime, my WOMBAT score has arrived. I got an E, which is fine. I would be more interested in the scores if the quizzes required more actual knowledge than guesswork and speculation. Justin, however, got a P because he guessed at random through most of it the morning it came out while Mary and I were on our way to MuggleFest.

Staying in tonight to avoid the torrential rain. Sigh.
