Finally, I finished the bridesmaid shawl meant for the wedding itself (not a gift shawl)!

“The installation piece Ben Cuevas chose to showcase at The Wassaic Project features a knitted skeleton seated atop a pyramid of Borden’s condensed milk cans and a cloud of screen prints on Plexi glass suspended above it. The knitted skeleton is seated in the lotus position. The prints are of disembodied anatomical parts photographed in high resolution with diagrammatic illustrative overlays. Ben conceives of the piece as a reference to material culture and Wassaic’s local history (The Borden Company had a condensed milk factory in Wassaic) and a meditation on transcendence.” -Bora Mici
Goodness. This must have taken AGES to make. See more pictures at The Art of Ben Cuevas.

I decided to join in the trend of putting up Work in Progress posts on Wednesdays. That will keep give me enough time to actually make progress on things and keep the posts from getting spammy, but aren’t too far apart that you’re left wondering what I’m doing.

People seem interested in how the veil is doing, so here are some more shots of that, plus a shot of the first bridesmaid gift I’ve started.

I still have a backlog of projects to put up, and some smaller things, but since I don’t post works in progress often and I have two bigger projects going on, I think now is a good time to show you that I’m not just farting around while my blog is sitting here stagnant.

Back in October, there was a weekend during which I had a wedding on both days. I bought two dresses in warm fall colors, and then made a trio of wedding accessories out of a lovely deep red fingering weight yarn.

Day seven: 3rd April. Your knitting and crochet time. Write about your typical crafting time. When it is that you are likely to craft – alone or in more social environments, when watching TV or whilst taking bus journeys.

Day six: 2nd April. Something to aspire to. Is there a pattern or skill that you don’t yet feel ready to tackle but which you hope to (or think you can only dream of) tackling in the future, near or distant?
