5 1/2 Swoopies
Last night it was just me, the Lady's Circular Cape, a REALLY strange movie called Lord Love a Duck that I rented in honor of the passing of Harvey Korman and which I still don't understand, and the last of the original yarn for the cape: I was truly planning on not blogging until I could say I had used up my 52nd ball of yarn, but that last little bit of yarn is much bigger than it looks. I just crossed over the halfway mark on the edging (YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) and still have enough yarn left for another swoopy. Not that I wouldn't have run out of yarn, as I'm only halfway around the edging and it's a LOT of edging: Jane Sowerby, I'm so glad I doubted you! Not that she isn't a perfectly lovely person--I'm sure she is. But I think we can all agree that it's a good thing she didn't decide to become an accountant. Knitters might forgive you for being off by 20%, but the IRS is pretty touchy about stuff like that. 4 1/2 left to go!
