It's the Big Lug

Two days of prednisone and my rash seems to be clearing up. I am almost back to normal color. Yay for rash free Friday.

Another good thing happened the other day when I got home from work. I got the mail and there was a suprise prize that I won from CraftySnargle Sarah a few months ago! Since the contest was a little while ago, I forgot I won, so it was like a really good suprise gift in the mail!

It's yummy yarn from Artfibers in SF! Thank you Sarah! I'll thank you in person at MDS&W if you're there!

And while I wait for my Knitpicks yarn to arrive I cast on for an ambitious project. It's the Lelah Top. I think its ambitious because it has a simple lace pattern. I have not mastered lace. I don't really like lace becuase when I mess it up I have a really really hard time fixing and finding my mistake. In fact, I already screwed up a row, but I don't think it'll affect the overall pattern. The yarn is leftover Knitpicks from my Tubey sweater. I think I have enough to make this top. I tried to do it right and make a gauge swatch, measure above my bust and do the math. So I know how many stitches I need at the bust part of my sweater, then I am doing the lace bottom on bigger needles like the pattern says. All in all it's an experiment and I will be slightly stunned if it turns out right!
