holliI finished my Flower Basket Shawl! I used Millefilli Fine Print in the blue colorway, and it looks *so nice*. The store only had three balls of the dye lot left, so I was a little short and had to fudge the edging, but it's still a good-sized shawl and awfully pretty.
I'm also working on a Tim doll for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
stephl, but my sewing machine is being a bitch, so I'm having to sew most of it by hand. It's getting there, though! I think I might be done this week. And I'm starting to spin up that gorgeous hand-dyed alpaca blend roving I got back in May. I think it wants to be another shawl.
I think I'm gonna stand well back of the current brouhaha engulfing DCU fandom. I mean, my default state is pretty much "lurking at the back of the room, writing crossovers and wacky AUs" so it's not like I'll be doing much *different*, but... yeah. Though I do have one observation: In JSA, Johns has a pretty good track record with female characters: Hawkgirl and Dinah are good, Peej has had a couple of fantastic issues, and Courtney gets to have braces, a B-cup and sensible shoes. Meanwhile, over in Titans, Cassie's been turned into a Miss Teen USA contestant. What the hell, Geoff?
