Substitution!

Okay... so I'm calling in a pinch hitter!

Instead of one the classic socks or the clapotis... I finished another Lavalette for Emily's birthday!

What can I say... I like being flexible.

Technically this is Lavalette number 3 for me to make... and since I couldn't decide what to get Emily for her birthday I decided to make her this:


Emily's Lavalette
It's something she's been wanting to make or herself but hasn't had the time to make so I decided to surprise her.  Let's just say there was screaming and all around OMG's when she opened it!

So, alas, I have to finish 1 more project for my for by October goal and I have 2 and a half days to do it!  Please wish me luck... I'm going to need it.

If I don't end up making it... I've decided that I still want to buy the yarn for my sweater, I just will not allow myself to do it until I finish both the socks, and the Clapotis.

Quick update on the knitalong... we have gotten together and have decided that the Hoarfrost Moebius pattern is a crock!  Not a true moebius! Who the hell grafts a cowl with a half twists and calls it a moebius?  We've decided to abandon the pattern and look for something else... anyone know what we can do with 2 cones of Lion Brand Wool Stainless Steel?  I'm seriously considering channeling Phillip Treacy and coming out with a funky hat... I could always just make another Kusha Kusha...
