Hey, suddenly I'm really ENJOYING knitting again! It's amazing what going from socks on size 1 metal DPNs to worsted cotton on bamboo size 9s can do for me!
Yesterday, in a bar in Cambridge, I cast on for the Voyager Lace Stole from Elann.com. I'm using Blue Sky Alpaca dyed cotton in Periwinkle. I hope to complete it in time to send it to my boyfriend's mom for Christmas, and that shouldn't be a problem. On Ravelry, I'm calling it the "She's Partial to the Periwinkle Blue" Stole. After all, it's for his ma. Anyone who's seen Snatch should get it. :) If you haven't, see it! Very funny.
An amusing note: I was watching Doctor Who reruns (Series 3) the other day, and in the episode "Gridlock", where flying cars are locked in perpetual traffic jams, there are these two ladies on the motorway--the Cassini "sisters" (they're actually married)--and one of them is driving while the other sits in the back and knits. I thought, "If I were stuck in a traffic jam for 23 years, that's EXACTLY what I'd be doing. It's the only thing that might keep me sane." :)

ooo.... blue sky alpacas! love their yarn and patterns. I just bought the scoop neck vest pattern online, to be made with brushed suri, among other things. However, I have a lovely ball of baby Alpaca I picked up in Salem.
