<\/center>\nI finished the cropped cardi! Overall, I’m happy with it, and I’m pleased that I fudged the neck shaping to get a lower “V” and it worked \ud83d\ude42 I think i could’ve knit a smaller size, but I’m not redoing it.
\nI got buttons yesterday, and it was a hard colour to match, so I went with silver hearts.

<\/center>\nHopefully I’ll get it all finished this week, but I’ve got a horror week coming up. Canteen duty, (I detest canteen!), Open Day at school, blah, blah, blah. I still haven’t blocked the Fair Isle Hat either.
\nAnd I did these.

\nI have to decide on a shawl to start. I now have all this luscious laceweight and fingering weight yarn, intended for shawls, but I can’t decide on any patterns. I have ordered “Lavish Lace”<\/a> and “Folk Shawls”<\/a> from Amazon, so hopefully they’ll get here this week, and help me to decide. (More likely, with that much to choose from, I’ll never be able to make a decision \ud83d\ude09
\nEmily has spent the whole weekend in her pointe shoes. I have to keep telling her to take them off. She has her first pointe lesson tomorrow, we’ll see how much she likes them after that! She has even been going up on pointe (holding onto the furniture), but if her ballet teacher finds out, she’ll be in big trouble. I may have to hide the shoes.
\nTwinkies bed got scrubbed out yesterday. She felt the need to inspect the premises after it was done.
