Classes are good, most of them. Some are pointless, but that's to be expected in a college curriculum, unfortunately. I love love love my voice teacher and Lyric Diction is one of the coolest things I've ever taken.
Piecewise, I'm working on "Ich will dir mein Herze schenken" by Bach, "La Conocchia" by Donizetti, "Que fais-tu, blanche tourterelle?" from Gonoud's "Romeo et Juliette", and "Love at the Door" by Samuel Barber. She's planning on giving me something from the Classic period as well, for jury at the end of the semester. Now to find an accompanist (I emailed 6, received a response from 1, who cannot do it) -_-
A couple finished knitted objects:
The "mystery" shawl, dubbed Rainbow Sherbet was finished on time and gifted to my youngest sister on her birthday in September. However, this is me modeling it, mid-Hurricane Irene.
This hat, which was a good stash-buster (as you can see, I had to break into a different skein of yarn to finish the top and the button band). It still needs buttons, but who knows how long that will take me?
An absolutely horrid finished cardigan, which I will likely donate to a shelter, b/c the yarn is not worth frogging to reuse (in my opinion). Not even going to waste space with a picture of it. I DO think it was an error on my part in deciding which yarn to use, as the pattern uses yarn with silk for drape and I used a wool/acrylic blend...but either way, I really don't like it.
A Honey Cowl in madelinetosh, color Hickory, for my friend, Missy.
Then WIPs (only 2, I swear). The madelinetosh hexapuff count has gone from 4 to 67 (though only 62 were finished when the following photo was taken).
And a Coastal Hoodie I've been working on since September 2. The button band and almost one sleeve have been completed since this photo was taken.
Since the hoodie is a bit too big to take with me and phinagle the four different skeins, tomorrow I will be casting on for a new sweater in a colorway that I begged for and ecstatically received!
