Scarlow is nearly done.  I finished the collar yesterday.  Instead of giving it a tight bind-off and then folding and sewing it down, as the pattern suggested, I folded it and grafted the live stitches to the pick-up row.  It's stretchy but secure.  If it gets warped and loose over time, I can always rip it our and re-do, or perhaps crochet-chain a stabilizing row along the base of the collar.

A new scarf, the Peacock Tail and Leaf from the modern Estonian Lace book is up next, with my fancy yarn from Shepherd's Harvest.  I ordered a set of Brittany sz. 3 needles last week because not one single yarn store in the area had a wood #3, and they are taking for-ev-er to arrive.  I am becoming ridiculously obsessed with checking the porch for the mail.  Until they arrive, I am basically twiddling my thumbs and working on dull filler projects.

I've also picked up my Spring Quilt again, though it is definitely no longer spring.  I put it aside to finish the picnic dresses a couple months ago.  Now I have all the blocks sewn and I'm assembling them with the sashing.  Once the top is done, I will probably set it aside again and quilt it this winter, when I have less going on.

 

After that, it's more costume-y stuff, yay!
