Water, water…

…everywhere, but not a drop to drink.

Or, in my case time’s everywhere, but I’ve got none of it.  Classes are finished, but my week has been flying with all of the post-school tidying going on.  I’m moving out of my studio, and my sister and I are going to be sharing a living space.  With all this shuffling, I’ve  been thinking about organizing my stash.  Particularly as my sister is a knitter as well, and two merged stashes will not be any fun to separate when we move away from each other.

Which leads me to my first non-knitting-FO to be posted on the blog.  Also, the first object I’ve sewn since high school.  I’m not counting hemming pants, patching things, and the like.  It’s a DPN case!

The seams are wonky, the button hole’s a little goofy, and the fabric is bunched, but it does the trick.  And I didn’t buy anything to make it.  The fabric is scraps from Sean’s blanket, a few fat quarters from a fabric store near my boyfriend’s house, and some old scrap bed sheets.  I found the button in my tin- it is probably circa 1970.  Amazing.

And the hexagon blanket has progressed to this:

It’s getting harder and harder to photograph the whole thing.   Right now, it’s spread out on a queen sized bed.  Those odd patches sticking off the edges are where my last full round of hexagons are going to go.  After that, I’ll be filling out the corners and doing a bit of edging.  I’m down to my last ball of kureyon today, but I have a plan for how I’m going to afford to finish this blanket… you’ll see more on that later, I’m sure.

And a big, huge thank you to everyone who bought my Nora Pullover pattern so far.  It’s great to know that people are interested, and as a result, I’m a happy camper.
