One week closer to vacation

Bad me for taking a week between entries, but in my defense, Blogger was down the times I did have a chance to sit and make an entry. Blogging from work is bad juju, baby.

I'd like to thank my Secret Pal for spoiling me once again with a very nice package:


The pattern looks similar to Debbie New's Scribble Lace technique, which I love, and the yarn is Kidsilk Haze and Bingo. Thanks again, SP5 - you've been a good one! :D

This all reminds me of course, that I have a couple pictures here that I've been meaning to share of an FO and some WIPs. On the left, the back of my cruise shawl, which I finished on 8-13-2005, made from three skeins of Starburst(?) in silver (which is the only color I've ever seen it in). The pattern is a mock Faroese using crocheted shells - written by the Tiny Diva herself (may I not be struck by lightning for resorting to using it). On the left of the right photo, a sock in Opal Rainforest - Flamingo, which sadly has been frogged as I decided it was working up a little too tightly on size 1s. To the right of that, a drop stitch shawl that I am making for Emmy for the cruise, using Trendsetter Sunshine. These photos were both taken two weeks ago - so I am a little further along on the shawl. :D
