Knitting:

I just finished a wonderful three week beginning lace class at Hillsborough Yarn shop, taught by Gali, a/k/a firetweed. I learned a lot and finished a lace scarf – photos to follow.
Thus inspired, or maybe crazed by the PHILLIES WINNING THE WORLD SERIES, I decided my next lace project after the beginners’ scarf would be . . . .

Yeah, THAT looks easy, eh?  Last night I learned a new cast-on and started with the casting on and the first tiny row of nine stitches.
I have too many WIPs.

Travel: went to McClellanville, South Carolina and had a wonderful time.
Election – in great suspense these final days.
Back to work for now . . .

I’m starting to think it will never be finished.
