My laptop cover - started several months ago, in a quest to familiarize myself with creating colorwork and using bold palettes - is so nearly finished, I can taste it. I have only a few dull but necessary tasks to complete:
While the ends have been sewn in, I still need to trim them nice and short. There dozens of these, and I really don't like trimming ends. Perhaps I'll just leave them alone - who would see them anyway?
I also need to find and sew a button in place, for my wee loop to snuggle around. Normally I enjoy selecting buttons for a project, but I'm very stumped as to what to use for this, and I don't want to spend ages looking for a single button. Instead, I'll probably raid my stash, which is currently packed away. I can't access it until this weekend, so I've got time to consider my option. A toggle seems best suited, but I'm positive I don't have any of those lying around.
The granny square blanket has reached a momentary stasis, until I buy another (another!) ball of yarn. After making the next set of squares, I'll move on to arranging the squares and determining the final layout of the blanket. My color sense is still a work in progress, so I'm dreading this part of the process. However, I'm sure it will end up looking just fine etc etc. I'll try to get some pictures of the progress as it comes along.
