It's been another eventful week over here at chez woolly, full of wild carryings on. We had friends over for a lovely and soul satisfying dinner on Friday, where we did some belated New Year tarot readings and celebrated the birthday of the trees. There may have been a dramatic reading of The Lorax after dinner and wine but all present were sworn to silence.

On the finishing front (it being February after all), I have some very exciting news to report.
I had originally thought that I would want to add a black border around the outside of this, but once I got here I changed my mind. A bit like gilding the lily, I thought. We'll gloss over the fact that I bought a 400 yard skein of Miss Babs Yummy 2-Ply to add a border I ultimately decided against, all in the name of using my stash. Ya win some, ya lose some.
In any case, I am beyond delighted with how it turned out. I feel quite clever for successfully applying a 3rd-grader understanding of geometric shapes and adapting a pattern on the fly, allowing me to use up every drop of my 2023 Advent set from The Fiber Seed.
That's one project ticked off of the list, so I've turned my attention to the Wasilla Poncho. I'd like to finish it in February as well, so I've set myself a goal of adding one skein of the LB Mandala this week, and one skein next week. I'm also continuing to plug away on Riptide, and of course the ubiquitous purse sock. No pictures of any of them this time - they all look just like they did last week, only more so.
And finally, in the spirit of moving my Beach Walk Blanket towards completion, I'm working on the squares for the outer border. I'm well on track to finish the squares in February so I can attach them and do the final few rounds in March.

That's all the news that's fit to print. Incremental progress on a number of things, as is the way of things around here.
But that rainbow wrap tho!
