I finished the red & black dancing pants, at long last. First I thought I was going to get them done in time for the mixer on Friday, then I thought I’d wear them out last night, but today I finally got them done and wore them over to Leo’s 33-1/3rd-birthday barbecue, featuring a rotisserie goat. This is basically the only piece of clothing I’m actually going to finish from the very long list of creations I had originally intended to bring to Burning Man. [Oh, no, wait: I forgot the big black fur kimono coat.] I’m happy with them; they feel good and look good, and I learned a couple of things while putting them together.

Now it’s time to run another round of errands and then start packing. It’s a week til I leave, but I’m flying to Austin for two days, and Tuesday evening is the waterpack workshop, so I basically have to get this done today.
