My addition to eye candy friday:

Tequila. This is a pure “indulgence” photo - and one I’d really like to partake of more times than is probably wise.

As far as not eye candy — I am working on the worlds ugliest dischcloth. I had some Peaches & Creme stashed from waaaaaaay back, in color “pink lilacs” — a combination of pinks, purples, and white. Everything I’m really working on is on little needles with little yarn, so I wanted something mindless and quick to work on when my brain wants to disengage. So I decided to try out a dischcloth — worsted weight yarn on US size 7 needles — just what the doctor ordered. I’m working it in a feather and fan pattern (which I’ve never done before, and yes, I realize is not going to give me an actual SQUARE dischcloth). It’s fun, and I’m enjoying it.

But my gods what an UGLY creation. The colors, alone, are hideous — enought to make me thing “what in the FUCK were you thnking, Carrie?” — and then there’s the pooling on top of that. Hideous personified. But. But. It makes me grin every time I pick it up to work on it. And it’s going so FAST! So I’m pretty happy with it. And, after all, it’s going to be used for menial labor — how pretty does it have to be? It’s more than enough that I’ll get a kick out of it every time I see it.

Progress so far:

Icarus is growing, slowly. Mother’s bag is . . . .well, thinking about growing. Even more slowly. Hedera is pretty much being saved for “out” knitting — which means not getting much time.

In other news, I joined Lolly’s Socktoberfest.

I just really like the idea, and I’m pretty sure I’m never again going to be without a pair of socks on the needles, so it seemed like a good fit for me. I’m hoping to have the second Hedera done within the first couple of days of October, and at least one other pair (for Lily) compeleted by the end of the month.

We’ll see how that works out!
