The Good, The Bad and the WTF

So here is the good. I finished my Aeolian shawlette from Knitty. It was wildly addictive and hard to put down at times. I think I cranked it out in a week which might even qualify for some sort of Ravelry record.



Here is me practicing some twirls and Stevie Nicks moves. I really should have permed my hair and popped on a gypsy skirt.



Here is some more good. I dragged out my bead bin and set the girls up for a bead session. They sat and beaded for two hours and talked without fighting. Beads have super powers.



Here is the bad. Actually very bad. I didn't even try and block this, it was that bad. The pathetic part was that I kept going because somewhere in the back of my mind I was hoping that it would magically get good looking. Well, that didn't happen. Very bad.



And here's my WTF. A mink thingy that I can't seem to throw out. it was hiding in my bead bin. It was once part of a wearable taxidermy piece . My friend gave it to me so I could trim a pair of Tlinget moccasins I was sewing. All I have left is the front half. I think I'll save it a while longer. It looks good hanging out of a basket.



Okay, here's one last twirl, while I'm in the mood!

Love the whole "white-winged-dove" thing you have goin' on Stevie!

To bad about the other shawl - I had one like that and finally unraveled the whole thing and washed and rewound all 6 hanks of yarn. It felt good!

Seriously--you have to see about that transfer to DC so I can laugh more often! :-) Your Aeolian is just gorgeous.
