FBS is done, blocked, dry and off the board. I'll try to post the final FO stuff this weekend. I still have to take pictures of the drop stitch lace tank modeled too. I haven't forgotten.
I cast on for Ariann after seeing Jillian's completed one. I've had this one in the queue for a while, and it was a what-the-heck moment. I can understand why people get it done so quickly (er, not that I will) because the one line pattern is easy to memorize. Just enough stuff going on to keep you interested.
I got to the first button hole and the pattern didn't give specific instructions for doing it. Patty showed me the best button hole trick ever. It's the one row buttonhole, and after I did the one on Ariann, I had to make two more on the wristwarmers. I really love the finished look and sturdiness of these buttonholes. Thanks again Patty for being a wonderful resource and for your generosity in sharing your knowledge!
As for the wristwarmers with their brand new thumbholes, only two more inches to knit and it'll be time to cast off.
The Retro Redux Shrug is moving along but it still looks the same. Really. I'm down to the last needle change until I get to the ribbing. This one makes for good tv knitting because you just keep going and going and going.
I did cast on one more small project - the knitted jelly donut. I found the pattern through Lime and Violet's Daily Chum. In a bit of technology love, my friend Hawaii Joanne and I had a long-distance knitalong. She even had her webcam working, so I could see her working away. (Hi Jo!) That was a blast and hopefully, we'll be able to do it again soon. No pics yet but I'll try to get some in soon.

That's all for now. Have a great weekend!
