New knitting project and prompt 'winners'
Once the yarn arrives, I have a new project. For me! And I have pictures!
So I consulted with two work colleagues about this, rather by happenstance. I'd printed out this pattern a while ago but only now am I ready to make it.
[that's Brynne herself, who designed it]
I'm making the body of the sweater out of this gorgeous variegated yarn:
and then the cabling at the bottom of the cardigan and sleeves will be out of this solid:
I'm rather excited. :D
And I did draw from the four possibilities from my recent round of 'please supply me with prompts.' I'm realizing just how disengaged many on my flist are from the fandoms I'm still somewhat active in. It's that or people are moving away from LJ in general or engrossed in their own lives, they're in newer, shinier fandoms, or some combination thereof. I feel a bit out of kilter myself, though it's primarily because I've been so singularly focused on my rewrite, now in the hands of a few previewers. It's been a rough year for many people, though, and I can understand a moving away from stuff.
At any rate, the two 'winners' from the prompts provided to me (thank you to those who did offer suggestions!) are these:
~ from brumeux77: How about a little Neville and (*ponders*) Percy. Accidental meeting in a Muggle location. Florist? Theater? Polo game? Ogling a swimming competition? Glastonbury (Muggle and wizard!)?
~ from elfscribe5: Oh gad, I'm so in the Wraeththu head right now, that I could use a break, so Slavebreakers -- Bran/Yves with a side of Holden.
So now I have something new to write! Yay!! Because it's a full month until the revived ginger_lust will post sign-ups and prompts and all of that. I'm thrilled that it's been resuscitated and that I can participate without being a mod. ;)
