Lace Conundrum

Yesterday I complained about the small size of the Cozy I'm knitting (as I'm using yarn much finer than that recommended in the pattern)...well, it's still bothering me.

I think that the frog pond is in sight. If I rip out and cast on again with an additional 36 stitches it should be wide enough for a stole, more useful than a scarf, for me. It'll be painful, though. I hate ripping out, and it's worse when the work looks good.

This yarn is perfect for the pattern stitch. The colors flow over the pattern, but I just don't need another lace scarf to pack away! I want to wear this one.

A little bit of this, a little bit of that...

Let's see...I'm knitting a lace scarf from some glorious Mountain Colors Bearfoot in Gold Rush (I bought the yarn in December 2006). A simple 10 row pattern from the second Barbara Walker treasury. It's going to be lovely.

DH & I had a cocktail party (us, two guests) last night, and we all had a wonderful time, including the kittens, who refused to go to sleep lest they Miss Something. (Fa Sing was so tired this morning that he tried to take a nap on my head when I was in the Child pose. Too funny!)

We still don't know whether we have the house. But we signed yet another paper on Friday. Please-God-we-get-it. It needs to be loved again.
