I have been through an especially dry season for knitting,  but am happy to say I have emerged from this to the other side at long last.   I had started a laceweight scarf of Misti Alpaca, but lace knitting was not a very good match with what was going on in my life, what with Bill’s surgery and recovery (he’s going back to work this week, so he has made great progress from where he was immediately post op).  My mind finally calmed enough to finish the project:

Blocking was a bit difficult, but it surely ended up pretty, or so I think! The pattern is Seafoam (can be found on Ravelry) by my friend, Ruth, and is really quite easy, if you don’t have eleventy-zillion things running around in your head to distract you.  It’s lighter than a feather and tremendously soft!!  I am glad I made it.

I just finished an awesome shawl made from some of my handspun merino/tencel as well.  I have not blocked it yet nor taken a decent picture, so that will have to wait for another post.
