A Ravelry friend in Germany! Wow! She goes by Inkwool, and we’ve knit the same shawl, which is neat. Also also, I did my first creepy “I’m friending you randomly” friending, and I claimed that we were secret twins, and she friended me back (different person, but cool nonetheless). I feel like I’m making progress in the whole online social networking arena. I kinda sorta understand why my brother prefers to make friends online, but only kinda sorta (see, Andrew? I sorta get it! You’ve been validated!).

Anyway, I’ve decided to post photos of the Mystery Object (both of them). And here are the first:

Sorry about the bad color quality; I should probably get up off my butt and go outside to take these, but then I’m not being as sneaky, and I might have to answer questions, which I’d rather avoid.

Whatever could it be?

How about this one?

Hmmm… It’s a mystery. And if you know, don’t you dare post it in the comments, because I’m still keeping these mostly a secret. I just couldn’t not post these any longer. (It’s all on Ravelry, anyway, if you go check).

I was working on the first one last night, but the combination of laundry, TV, and a long phone call with my mother rendered my efforts useless, so I hope to have more luck this evening (but I’m not expecting much).

Incidentally, that first one is also my first pseudo-intarsia project, and so far, so good. It’s simple enough that I don’t even need bobbins, but I’m feeling pretty accomplished.
