Back from vacation

I meant to post before I left but things got crazy so now of course I have all kinds of catching up to do. In any case, Chapter 24 of Anne of Green Gables was released before I left and I plan on recording another chapter soon.

I started the Kauni cardigan and am actually quite a bit farther than this now but here is the most recent picture:

That isn't a great picture, the flash made the colors look much brighter than they actually are. The real thing is much more muted and gentler on the eyes. I'll try to get a good picture later today. I started and ripped out a few times before I got the hem how I want it and the color combinations how I want them - just slightly offset. But now I'm just plugging right along.

I finished the first Embossed Leaves Sock:

I love it, I think it's the prettiest thing I've ever knit. Here's a closer look:

And the second one is in the works. In the meantime I've been spinning and I'm hooked on it. Here is what I'm spinning now:

I'll have pics of my first handspun finished and how this roving is going soon. Vacation was nice. I listened to Harry Potter and loved it. Very well done in every way. Today is back to work and normal life which is nice too. You know it's a good vacation when you enjoy every bit of it but you're ready to come home when it's over.
