I've been working on a big slow project that may be finished soon. I've been making a lace curtain for the smallest window in the house. I actually started it before this blog re-boot, so it's very much a grandfathered project. It's nothing to do with fair isle, but neither are socks. 
Except, of course, that anything I'm knitting does affect everything else that I am knitting, if only because while I knit the curtains, I am not knitting the next fair isle project. Or the latest, either. While I knit socks, I am not working on fixing the cuffs of my sweater.
Still, it's a pretty thing and I'm glad to have worked on it. I'm not sure whether or not I will ever make another lace curtain. It is a lot of making for something which either will look a bit kitschy or will look like something one could have bought for way less than my hourly salary X the number of hours I spent on it. I knit to learn, I guess.
