Nearing Completion

So that Hey Teach! cardigan I was working on, it's almost done! I put all of the pieces on the blocking board last night. I was kind of hoping they'd be dry this morning, but I knew they probably wouldn't. Maybe they'll be dry tomorrow. I'm anxious to sew everything together and get this thing out of my hair.



I stretched everything to the max. It was looking a little small, and after all that work, it better fit! I'm finding the sleeves especially worrisome - they were a bit tight compared to my upper arm, but I think Grammy has small upper arms, so they might work out.

I've already been thinking about my next project. Although my queue is loaded with stuff, and I've got hot pads and hats on order, I kind of want to try my hand at this Vinage Crochet Pineapple Doily. I'll probably finish up the hot pad that's on the hook right now and then start start the doily. I know, I'm bad.

Well, I can't end this post without updating you on the snails. I took another picture of them. I REALLY need a new camera. This one takes awful, blurry pictures. With no point of reference, it's difficult to tell that the snails doubled in size, but they did.



I bought them a new house a couple of days ago. I'm almost positive they'll be able to squeeze through the slots in the lid, so the big move will have to wait. I've seriously considered decorating their new abode with artificial plants - for aesthetic reasons. You know, because a snail habitat MUST be aesthetically pleasing.
