The photo upload fairy finally visited. Here's what I've been up to:
1) I sang in the choir for Haydn's
The Seasons last Sunday. It's a fun fun piece and my main regret is that I forgot to mention it earlier, so I'm going to compensate by plugging our next concert super-early. It will be on Sunday May 4 at 3 pm in Seattle's First Free Methodist Church, and will feature mostly Baroque music. The choir will sing Purcell's Masque in Dioclesian. Check the
OSSCS website for more details.
It figures that that had no photos whatsoever. Anyway, going on...
2) I made my very first bread pudding, and judging from M's reaction it won't be the last. As usual, the recipe was from Joy of Cooking, but I threw in some walnut bread that was sitting around and topped the whole thing with raisins and chopped apricots.

3) I finished one of the
German Stockings. The yarn is Trekking XXL and the needle sizes included 3 mm, 2.5 mm and 2.25 mm. The 3-mm set was for casting on so that I didn't end up with a tourniquet, the 2.25 mm was necessary to get gauge, and the 2.5 was for the cuff, because when I realized I had to go down a needle size I didn't feel like redoing the cuff, so I just ripped down to where the cuff ended and changed needle sizes there.

The horizontal stripes are, perhaps, not flattering to my leg shape, but unless I wear these with hot pants I don't think anyone will notice.
Come to think of it, if I did wear them with hot pants the stripes would probably be the least of my worries.
4) I've been procrastinating on the other stocking by working on some lacey stuff instead. First there is the
Hydrangea Lace Scarf (you'll have to scroll a little down the left column). For this one I'm using a 2-ply silk-merino blend yarn that I spun last fall.

5) The other lacey thing is the
Paisley Long Shawl. I'm making this one with Jaggerspun Zephyr laceweight.

6) (the Spinnrade part) Back before Christmas, I picked up some roving at
Urban Craft Uprising, and I finally started to ply it two days ago. It's...bright. And one bobbin is way fuller than the other. Odd...I could have sworn I split it properly.
