I knit. I managed 7 colour repeats on [...]

Sooo I really let things fall by the wayside while I was away. Yes, yes we walked nearly everywhere for most of each day but…not enough to counterbalance the food choices I was making.
But oh was it yummy! We had Thai, Dim Sum, Vietnamese (oh the Iced Coffee!! - not many calories in that condensed [...]

For someone who has never knit lace, used laceweight, or even imagined knitting lace I have started buying laceweight!
And there just so happens to be a little lace stole in my new book - just the right size project for the skein my KTC swap partner sent me.
Check out the closeup on this inky blue [...]

It certainly took long enough - here is Uniscarfity blocking in the sun. (well, it was in the sun earlier)
After FINALLY finishing the Endless Scarf, I cast on for the new pattern at FunDishCloth KAL.
It was a quick easy pattern - a welcome treat after the tedious boredom of the ES. These were so [...]
