Here lately, I've been catching up on some of my fiber projects, mostly knit. Nothing too wild and creatively cutting edge. Just some regular knitting, in this case, 1x1 ribbing, using a strand of worsted weight and a strand of variegated fuzzy fur to give it some depth and subtle shadings within each color way. I worked on it some yesterday, and used a few other colors than the original grey and blue that I started with. This lacks only the final swath done in dark blue, which is what I am doing now {well, not NOW, now I am typing, and I am not yet talented enough to type and knit at the same time; and I don't think I want to learn that particular skill set}~~you might see the top line of dark stitches, and that is the final color I'm working with. At this point, the throw is about 3'x4'. It'll be more square, I think, when I'm through. I anticipate that I'll be thru by week's end. Then on to the Not Quite 50 Shades of Green chevron throw. Yea!
Also, I just realized I look kind of pissed off in this pic. I'm not. I have resting scowl face, which is somewhat different than resting bitch face. I think that in resting bitch face, you are simply not smiling and you look like you are just keeping your thoughts to yourself, or keeping yourself from smacking the shit out of someone.
With resting scowl face, you actively look angry, like something is really irritating you and you are not bothering to keep your reaction in. You look furious over seemingly nothing. My daughter in law told me a few years ago that she was really worried that she'd done something wrong or that I was disapproving of something going on around me. Nope, that's just my face. I started off with resting bitch as a teen and it's developed into scowl and by the time I am an old woman, I'll have crotchety crochet face. You whipperschnapper you.
