Nothing much here

So I'm what you might call new to the design game. The Milky Way Scarf is my second pattern up on Ravelry. And it just tickles me pink to see that people seem to like it! Those little hearts are just about the greatest thing to see increase. But anywho.

On the knitting front, I've resumed progress on a couple of my lace pieces. I've completed the star and transition chart of my Laminaria Shawl. I'm really happy to be done with the star chart - not my favorite stitch. Nor is the 3 into 9 stitch thing you have to do in the blossom chart, but I have to admit the effect is very nice. But it's so fiddly!

Yes, that photo was taken on the back of a very obliging cat who was sitting in front of the picture window.

Yesterday, Mister Comfypants and I went to the next town over to see The Hurt Locker (which is a great movie, by the way - very intense). But we got done with our planned errands too early and had time to kill before hand. I'd noticed a thrift store we hadn't hit up before, so we headed over there. And I found these fabulous vintage creamers.

Now, they've nothing to do with knitting, but aren't they great? Pants and I love Mount Rainier, and I love beautiful small containers, so they are perfect. For something. I don't know what yet.
