There are a few additional projects that I don’t have pictures for yet; I’ll post those as I get them. Please excuse the generally poor state of my blocking-for-photograph (though concrete works surprisingly well).
Additionally, I’ve joined the Seasons of Lace Winter 2009 Knit-a-Long. Hopefully that will keep me company for now on my random lace projects.
