My excuses for not posting more frequently.... Oh, yes, the camera is probably still broken. I sent it back to the manufacturer to be "repaired" -- but I'm guessing that will probably actually mean replaced. Which is fine, as long as we get a working camera in the end.

I was home sick (still recovering, actually, but I feel good enough to go to work) last week and I finished my pink shawl. The only picture I have is from the very beginning, and it is a triangle. It was knit starting with the hypotenuse edge, and decreasing row to get to one single stitch. I also finished some socks, at last, and I'm very nearly done with one more quick project. That one needs to be modeled, but I won't see the model until Thanksgiving, so we'll have to wait. Plus the camera being out of commission.

Have I started another lace piece? Believe it or not, no. I love knitting lace, but I really wanted to be sure to finish other things first. Now that one is done and the other is nearly there, I am very tempted. I have the next project lined up. I have some beautiful blue silk yarn that is going to be a lace stole. I can't wait to show this one off!

And Walker's vest has been set aside as well. He said that was all right (see: other projects with specific deadline), but I know that will have to be taken up as soon as possible. The season for wearing it is here! Time is of the essence! Too bad it's so big -- a row takes a long time. I have several more inches before I get to the armholes, which will mean less stitches, at least. The best thing about knitting a vest? No sleeves!
