In which there is Ishbel

Ishbel (I knit the small size stockinette portion, but the large size lace portion)
Ella Merino Lace (the more purple-y photos are more accurate, but it is a purple-to-gray yarn depending on the light)

In which we must party

Happy Canada Day peoples!

How are you celebrating?

In which there is divine inspiration

I was minding my own business doing some homework and most likely daydreaming about a project I had promised to make for a co-worker when all of a sudden the clouds parted and I was bathed in a warm light, and I knew what I must do. Shibui. Stripes. Sockhead Hat (yes, another one). All feels like a little bit of something divine.



Oh, and for those curious, I have begun a 365 project. I am keeping it confined to flickr most likely, but feel free to click through and take a gander.

In which I eat well once in a while

Oh, I just had to share today's dinner with you all!

Lamb kebabs, israeli couscous, spicy mango/strawberry/grapefruit salsa, and a green salad, and elderflower pressee over frozen blackberries. Mmmm, delightful!

In which there is progress

The word of the day is stitchdefinition... Yeah, I know.

In which there is a cake

Ishbel-to-be. This is one of those yarns that changes colour drastically depending on the lighting.

In which I try to find a pattern

So, I'm planning on making this into a scarf/kerchief/shawlette project... Anyone care to suggest patterns?
