The To-Do List just grew
November 3rd, 2006 by Restless Knitter
I have many excuses for what I did.
- I was tired of thinking about paint colors.
- I’m jealous of all those people that went to SAFF and Rhinebeck and are flashing their recent purchases.
- I finished the border on one end of the purple mystery stole.
- I finished a headband to keep my ears warm when I walk the dog.
- They’ve (work) been giving me really boring work to do therefore I’m, well, bored.
- I’m tired of sorting through our crap, trying to decide what to keep, sell, freecycle, and trash.
See, all valid reasons. What was it I did? I bought a book and paid full price. Once I saw it, there was no way I could wait for Overstock or Amazon to ship it to me. I had to have it Right Now. Which book, you ask? Victorian Lace Today by Jane Sowerby. I’ve taken pictures of the ones that I like the most…
This is the same as the previous one, different view
This one can be made in 3 shapes, here are 2 of them
This is the same as the pink one but has a larger border

Hey there! I was thinking about you this morning. I jumped out of bed and searched for my felted clogs (that were on my feet just last night). When I couldn’t find them, I started thinking about the felted slippers you made. I think I’ll have to add those to my “to knit” list!
The book you purchased has beautiful things in it! One of these days I’ll try more than a simple lace pattern! Which pattern are you going to knit first?

OMG, I was just thinking about that book! The pictures look pretty good. I really may need to get this one, since I am All About the Lace these days.

My dear - for your reason no. 2 - have brought you back a sheep. I AM NOT KIDDING! Will I see you soon? It wants to go to his new home. I can’t stand the baabaabaabaabaa anymore.
Thanks for the book. I have to get a copy now… Have a great weekend!

I’m horribly jealous of the SAFF’ers myself still.. but I’ve busied myself with spinning and threw myself into creating for the shop.. I nearly bought “Generation Tee” for cutting up teeshirts full price from B&N the other day for the same reason.. but I resisted.. because I’m a cheapskate.

I sat and looked through every lace book I own-which is most of them-and couldn’t find a thing I wanted to make from my skank of brooks farm mohair so now I, too, must get this book. It may not have anything I want to make either, but at least I’ll have looked in another book’s worth of designs and will feel even more righteously pissed.

thought Id stop in for a browse. I like the look of your blog….will read more when I have a bit more time. I am a regular over at FLK, Beth’s blog so thought Id stop by after reading about your visit with her in person.

Once I recover from Lace Overload, I have a feeling that I’m gonna need this book too!
