And knitting it is!
First, I was playing with trying to catch the effect of the late afternoon sun on Medea yesterday. She was on my lap and I liked the way the light hit her. So here is my artsy version of what I saw--
I like it so much, I made it my avatar on Ravelry -- I am JungAtHeart there, by the way. I have this same red in three other yarns from Colourmart, including some DK silk/cotton I just got. I think I may have enough red for now. But thoughts of purple are sneaking in...
Now, I finished Clue 1 on the Spring Mystery stole. I still wonder if this Yubina cashmere will fluff up when it is washed, because if not, I will have a very wispy stole, not that that would be a bad thing.
The Slow-Bee shawl is also coming along in a nice slow way. I haven't yet finished Clue 1. I am using a mix of red and pink beads, which I am liking a lot. Here you can see how I have doubled the center rectangular panel to give width where needed for my friend.
And a slightly wider view --
I am now hopelessly addicted to beads in lace.
This afternoon I am off to see Almost, Maine, which is the current play by the Belfast Maskers. My husband is technical director there and designed the lighting and a number of effects in the play. So while he is off in Augusta for a political meeting, I'll be at the play.
