OK, I couldn't hold out on the High Holy Day lace project.
First, I had seven dollars in my PayPal from selling some yarn. Seraphim pattern? Six dollars.
Second, I have two skeins of Schaefer Anne. Fingering weight wool blend, gorgeous. I was going to make a circular shawl (from a Schaefer pattern)- I even started it. And I just hated the pattern. It didn't seem clear, and it was bothering me.
Seraphim requires about 8 oz of fingering weight yarn. I have 2 skeins of the Anne- that's 8 ounces. Seraphim is pretty, and will look beautiful in a mildly variegated color scheme (which my Anne is).
Score. I wonder how far into the stockinette I can get, and still finish the second sweater sleeve this weekend? First sleeve? DONE!
I'll post a status photo at the end of today. For now, I think it's time to get some laundry going and cast on for this shawl. I even have the right size Addi Turbo lace needle, right with the yarn. It's bashert.
