Woot! It’s done. The ends are woven in. It’s blocking on the bed in the guest room. Hopefully tomorrow morning will dawn bright and sunny so I can get some good photos of it. In the meantime, you’ll have to be content with these. I love how it looks before blocking. The back, especially. The texture and the lines are lovely. I love seeing the back of unblocked pieces at least as much as seeing the front. The texture back there is much more interesting before it’s been blocked. Don’t you think?

I got a few more repeats done on Babylon at knit knight last night, since Domus Aurea was done by then. It’s getting pretty close to being done, too. I’m seriously considering doing a triangular version of Domus Aurea. I think it’d look pretty neat. And it’d make those of you who prefer triangular shawls happier. Both a tunic and a skirt in the same pattern have been suggested. I’m thinking about them. They might happen; they might both happen. It’s hard to say. They’ll both take quite a bit of planning.

I hope all the Americans had a good holiday weekend. We cleaned as we’re expecting guests at the end of the week, went to a wake, cleaned some more, went to a graduation party, recovered from all of the above, then I went to knit knight. It turned out to be a very full weekend. Why can’t people spread their things out more? We go for weeks on end with nothing specific, then it all happens at once.
