Bluebonnet Time

Just how cute is this!

No wonder The Queen loves these little guys.  Bart knows how to really enjoy a sunny Texas day -- when we have one, that is! I have to throw in a completely gratuitous animal or grandson picture every once in awhile, and this one was just too good to pass up.

But what have you been knitting? you may wonder.  I dispatched the first attempt at my favorite vest design to the Frog Pond as promised, and came up with this:

Not even a hint of carpet-ness here.  I like this version much better.  It's Elsebeth Lavold's Silky Cashmere, and it's going to have a lovely drape.  The gauge is spot-on with this yarn, too.  It has some bounce, and a great silken sheen.  It isn't really white, but more of an ivory color. 

I didn't photograph it, yet, but I finished the light green Nancy Bush lace sock, and I've started the second one to knit as I travel.  The vest and a couple of future pairs of socks are going on my vacation with me.  We'll see how much knitting gets done.  Hopefully, a lot.  I don't think I'll be blogging as I travel, but I'll have plenty to say about it when I get back.  The Fabulous Traveling Judies are on the trip, so there's bound to be a lot of fun, and good knitting going on. 

Yes, Agnes is going, too.  She's not in the same league with Delores, but she loves to travel.

Au revoir,
MEM

I do hope you are intending to show the finished garment. It looks beautiful.

Absolutely too cute a picture not to possess a frame for your home. I know these little guys are great companions, and they are smarter than most people. Great photo MEM.

Your cabled vest is wonderful looking. The cables are immaculate. Well done. I really love that yarn.

I haven't seen a post on KBTH from you for ages. It's not the same without you.

That Bart pic needs to be framed and put in a prominent place! Your vest is so-o-o lovely. Have a marvelously fiberlicious voyage!

Bart looks like he's in heaven and your vest looks heavenly! Love the cables!
I hope you have a wonderful, lots of knitting time on your trip.
Did I mention I was glad you are back!?!
