The Weekend

I had a wonderful weekend!  It didn’t start of as wonderful at first, coz mom woke me up at 8:30am on a Sunday morning just to ask me one question.  ONE.   I woke up groggily and because the answer to the question required some thinking, it stirred up some brain juices and I was fully awake before I knew it.  I so know I had wanted to sleep some more and not get up till at least 10.30am!  Lazy, I know.

It was only 9:15am when I was done with rolling on the bed, stretching, and washing up.  What was I to do?  CSI didn’t start till noon.  Oh well.  I looked at the strand of Chrysocolla Jasper beads and wanted to do something with it, but it didn’t happen.  I wanted to work with wire, but couldn’t get my brain to figure out how to incorporate the beads into the wiring.

So I picked up Swarovski pearls and crystals instead.  And I landed up with something pretty good (to me anyway).  Hehe.

It’s still not complete though.  I am not quite sure how I want the back portion to be.  It would either be repeaters of what’s in front, or a plain crystal-pearl-crystal-pearl back.  I’m leaning towards repeaters, coz I think it would look more polished.

I’ve also started work on a pink version of the Richmore top.  The upper front and back are already attached together, but I uh, lost interest in its progress.  To the side it goes, and to something new I start.    Received luscious 100% silk yarn from both Thailand (eBay) and Halcyon Yarn… both are gorgeous yarns, but the Thailand one is of a heavier weight compared to the Halcyon one, and therefore, unsuitable for the delicate shrug I’m working on to complement the wedding dress (if it works out to be how I imagined it in my head).

Therefore, I’ve started work on a jacket/shrug with it.  It might go with the spaghetti-strapped white dress I’m planning to use for the ROM ceremony.  And yeah, it’s crochet again.    I’m a bit paranoid if I would have enough yarn for a knitted piece (I have 800gms but haiya, who knows?).  If I have leftovers, I’ll probably knit up an Evelyn Clark shawl with it. 

The beloved’s scarf remains unfinished, but time is passing quickly~ he will be back end of next month!!!  I’ve to finish it by then!! hehe.  Wish me luck.  As for the green shrug, I am still not done tucking in the tails.  Sigh.  For the blue shrug, contemplating frogging the edges and putting the original edges back in.  I noticed that with washing, the top will hang… and the edges would therefore, technically, hang much better than it did before.  We’ll see.  Wish I will have more inspiring weekends like the last!

Lookie the wrong-fit shrug…

The back of the shrug is still incomplete.  Demotivated from the wrong-fit issue.
