WIP Wednesday (Leafy & Random Thoughts)

Look! Actual knitting!
 
This is Branching Out, from Knitty. It's my "learn how to lace" project. It's also just recently had a bath, because it was trapped in a very musty place. Well, part of it has had a bath. Can you tell where I started knitting afterwards? I'm amazed and pretty excited to block it for real.

I'm also still plugging along at Random Thoughts! I think I'm about halfway through; good thing, because the year's halfway over!
 

We had a great weekend, though very tiring, seeing the final Harry Potter movie and doing our usual party. (See previous years' parties here and here.) I'll do a full post, but here's a quick preview...
 
Pre-movie snacks!

It's going to be awesome when you block it for real!

I'm not a Harry Potter fan (ducking) but the snacks look pretty good!

I llike the leafy motif in the green yarn. Looks like you had a fun party! I've never heard of peppermint toads. Hmm, I'll have to look those up.

Hope you had a good party, such a cool idea, loved your previous post about it. Nice scarf, I think that's one I'll have to knit one of these days, heard a lot about it.

I love your blog banner!!! From it, I can tell we have a LOT in common.

The lace is gorgeous! I recently did a cowl as my first semi-lace project. It was fun, but I must say, I was tired of the pattern after awhile. LOL
