It's about time

That I finally put the cranberry cape to bed. Done, edged and bound off after about 10 different alternate edgings bit the big one. However, sometimes it's worth waiting for Mr. Right. This twisted rib did the trick - different enough from the other ribbings, but similar enough to meld right in. I'll spend the next few days writing, there will be a little testing, and you'll see it again around the Holidays.

Also in the spirit of finishing things, that's my Aestlight up there. You might not recognize it as it's missing the beautiful knitted edging Gudrun intended, but this poor little WIP has spent almost a year in the cabinet and I've come to terms with the amount of time I currently have to work on other knits. After binding off the cape, I figured a quick finish would mean that the poor scarf could be worn right away (and it is, right now). So although it's not done as it should be, it still has the gorgeous lace insert, and I do love it.

Behind the knits up there, you might also notice my new vintage cocktail book. This one's hilarious, and I was introduced to it while picking Zoe up from a playdate. (How much do I love my little community?) It's the Esquire Cocktail Book, a perfect 1950s guide to everything drinky. History, entertaining tips, amazing illustrations and recipes.

See?
