Lucetta is finished, albeit still in pieces and no easier to photograph. The finishing will begin tonight, and should be completed by the weekend - I'm not sure exactly what I'm going to look like in this.
I don't know if it's going to be a success or a frumpy failure.
And I think that's what is delaying the finishing - I'm not normally the sort of person who hates sewing up. If you never see this item mentioned again, you can assume the worst.
Meanwhile I have been amusing myself by concentrating on a pair of Nordic Star socks from Vogue's Ultimate Sock Knitting book. I idly cast them on as a way of using the single ball of orange yarn, combined with some grey sock yarn I found in my stash. Halfway down the leg I started wondering if perhaps I might need more than just 50g, considering the stranded knitting theoretically uses up to twice the amount of normal socks. What a good idea, badly thought through!
Oh well, it might make a rather fun alternative Christmas stocking if I run out of yarn after one sock!
