Finsihed the prayer afghan/blanket/thing last night. It was 54" long; I had some of the Homespun left, but frankly, didn't want to work on it any more.

So I cast off and washed the thing (it had glue stuck in it from the labels; I guess that's the synthetic-yarn equivalent of chaff in the wool). It washed and dried fine, which made me glad. (Except it left dark blue lint ALL OVER my dryer, not just in the lint trap).

Switched over (after youth group; one of the guys took out the (now forbidden) basketball and was playing a little wildly with it and broke one of the fluorescent light covers, sigh. I'm going to offer to pay for it, I guess, even though he knew that he wasn't supposed to have the ball out. If they want to fire me over this, fine.) to knitting on the Mosaic scarf. It's not recognizably a multidirectional diagonal scarf but I really don't care - it's simple knitting but not too simple. And it's sort of comforting to work on something for ME. Oh, I should cast on for C.'s prayer shawl and start that, and I need to finish the AAUW felted bag, but I just couldn't face doing something more for someone else last night.

I'm thinking about the purple Mosaic; I might do a variation on Judy Gibson's Diagonal slant shawl of it. I still sort of like the idea of a capelet sort of thing that goes over the head instead, but I'm not finding patterns out there and I'm not sure I have the energy to try to design my own. No, I don't want a traditional poncho with a pointy end; what I'm envisioning is a round capelet sort of thing that either ties at the neck or is big enough to go over the head.

I'm finding I am not sure I have the energy for a lot of things these days. I don't know if I'm overscheduled or just anemic. I suppose I should go and get my blood iron checked.
