I finally wet the Fishtail Lace Scarf (in Alchemy Silk Purse) and set it out to dry.  I didn't pin very aggressively because I thought the sides would get wonky on me.

 

So it's a bit past Christmas, but I'm sure Georgie the Swimming Teacher will be happy with it.  It's a suprise!

Today during a seminar I cast on Seduction Socks by Ann Budd, in Ellen's Half-Pint Farm Merino-Tencel.  I finished the cuff and one pattern repeat, on size 1 needles (Inox steel - 2 circulars).  Hate it. 
 

I like the yarn, and I like the pattern, but I do not like the yarn for the pattern.  I think the yarn is too dark - it really wants to be lace.  
So I frogged it and made a ball out of my Blue Moon Fiber Arts seduction in Carbon Dating to see how that looks.  I have a long car drive tomorrow for a meeting in Fresno, and a colleague is driving, so I should make some progress.  

We are heading to Tahoe this weekend, and I want to nail down a project or two before we go!
