Work in Progress Wednesday v.96

Wednesday already?  Yikes.  This week is zipping by at light speed, likely because Mr. Right leaves on Monday for a Two. Month. Long. business trip.  Can I get a Boo(!!!!!!), please?  Yeesh.  Two months is an insanely long time to be apart, especially when you're trying hard to plan a wedding.

On that front, we very nearly have a venue!  And a caterer!  Now all we really, really need is a date.  We're waiting to hear back from our pastor (hopefully today) about a flurry of dates that will work for us in August and September.  I've got fingers and toes (and pretty much everything else) crossed that one of them will also work for him.  We'll see...


Oh.  Knitting!  Right.  I've still not had a bunch of time to sit and knit, especially because my main project is lace.  As in, "Shhh!  I'm counting!  Talk to me later!" kind of lace.  It's pretty though.  See?

And I'm getting faster and less white-knuckled about it as I get the pattern ground into my wee little brain, so that's a plus.

I've also pulled out some socks that I was making a lifetime ago.  At the time, they were known as the Super Secret Socks, and were intended to be delivered to Mr. Right on the morning of our wedding with a note saying, "In case of cold feet."  Instead, they might've been thrown at his head on the afternoon that he broke up with me (Sorry, honey).  Needless to say, they've been in time out through a year of tears, counseling, hard work, reunions and happy endings beginnings.

And now, since we're actually, really for reals going to get married, they've resurfaced.  They're not a surprise this time (see the flinging-at-the-head business, above), and he's very excited to have them.  Bonus:  They fit him perfectly.  What you see here is actually sock #2, so I should have them finished up after one or two lonely evenings on the couch next week.  Silver linings, right?

For the moment, since he's still here and I can, I'm off to spend some time goofing around with my fiance.  And later, I'll head out to visit all the WIPW blogs for more super awesome craftiness.

Cheers!
