What's New Pussycat?

So, I gave fair warning that it would be a long time between posts. Nothing too great or earth shattering happening on the home front. I am working on my mom's gloves and I've fallen in love with lace knitting. I'm working on the Secret of the Stole ii:



which is a KAL that I am falling so far behind in. Just because I'm super slow, I absolutely love the pattern and it's so fun to get the hints every week. I'm also working on the Civil War Shawl, but I haven't gotten any pictures yet. This is also a KAL and I am also lagging in this one, but it's so much fun too. It's circular and HUGE. It's not a blind knit along, so I've seen pictures of the final project and it's amazing.

I have a million things lanquishing on the needles, but that's par for the course. And my queue of things I would love to knit in my life time continues to grow at an alarming rate. I'm gearing up for May and the Maryland Sheep and Wool festival in West Friendship. I've never been, but I've been following all the talk on Ravelry and I can not wait! I'm hoping I'll get to take an actual class or two, that would be so cool. I so want to inherit a farm from someone and get some goats, rabbits, alpaca and (cuz I saw one on a promo for Raven's new movie) a little pig and go completely crunchy granola! :)
