Why yes, I am insane. How are you?

Hi. Welcome to my crazy. You see, I've decided that I need a shawl/shrug/something for getting married in. I'm going to wear a red dress I have, that I love (because I'm so not auditioning for the role of virgin at this point), but it's sleeveless and I'm getting married in January. I have a black lace bolero jacket that I bought with it, but I'm not wearing black and red to get married in. I have my limits. So I bought some silver-grey mohair/bamboo yarn, some dark silver glass beads, and I'm making this, as pictured above. It has to be done by New Years, so that I can have time to wash it and block it and have it dry and ready in time to wear.

Yes, it did take me 10 months to knit a pair of socks. Shut up.

So. The countdown has begun. The project has already begun too, thankfully. With luck, I can get through and finish the damn thing in time. Think good thoughts for me, people.
