A moment of silence please, for my dearly departed Fair Isle U-neck pullover (Vogue Knitting Fall 2006). I found her in my stash box and she is beyond repair. She was a failed attempt at wool colorwork before I knew how to block, swatch, and keep an even tension. What a disaster! *sniffle* I'll miss you....

Well, when one door closes, another one opens.

And my new project begins! It seems like everyone my age is getting married and having babies now. I don't think I got the memo. But, I'm doing my part to clothe the new mommies and babies. A tilted duster for an expectant mommy in Elisabeth Lavold dark green chunky AL, a 50% first shear alpaca and 50% peruvian wool. This is on a size US10 needle, the largest needles I have ever knitted with, and this project is zooming by....I think I like it!! Kevin's sweater is finished and is drying on my blocking mat as I type. Pictures to come!

My other unfinished project is some jaywalker socks in 100% cashmere because socks are always the most travel-worthy projects.

I'll include some pictures of my trip to the Philippines in every post since I took a LOAD of them, even though I was only there for one week. The week was spent in the provinces, far from any tourist spot, and with family.
