Yeah, next step is to learn how to 'increase' so I can make things other than rectangles. Then 'decreasing.' I don't particularly want a shawl, or a purse (the decreasing project) but I think it's good to make them just so I learn that trick when it's the only trick I need to learn and not try to figure out how to increase and decrease plus other stuff when making a sweater.

Hee! You noticed my lamp! It was a birthday present from my parents on year. They found a plaster of paris 'terracotta warrior' one year and decided that I had to have it, and that it had to be a lamp.
