Back to our regularly scheduled program...

Yes, I've been neglecting to update! In my defense, I defended! (Ha, funny, no?). So I am on the other side of the mountain of work I had. The rest of the summer, its just foothills (so to speak).
I did finish knitting something. Here is my Basalt Tank, from Norah Gaughan's book "Knitting Nature". I love this book, and this is the first garment I did from it. As you can see, it is interesting construction - made up of hexagons. It is a little too big, but I always wear something under my handknits anyway. This picture is not the best (dreaded bathroom shot) but you get the idea. I will get a nicer picture sometime soon.

Now I get to play with yarn and figure out my next project. Who needs a shawl?

lOVE THIS - I commented on the photo but also wanted to comment here -first, thanks for mentioning FAB - and two, where on earth do you get the time to knit if you are finishing a dissertation (sp)? Also, was thinking this would be good in Malabrigo Yarn, or maybe in our newest, in madelinetosh yarn - probably the merino light? I love noras books - but am thinking it needs something with body....

Judy - you rock! I think merino light would be great. I knit at night instead of reading before bed because my eyes are too tired!
