And only a year later...

I finally photographed myself in my St. Brigid.  My mom is visiting and it's snowing out.  We went out for a bit and I decided to dress warmly for the occasion - hence my warmest, wooliest, bestest sweater ever.  Then I realized - HEY... perfect snowy weather for some pictures. 

Yes, I know this sweater is over a year old so this is a bit of a cheap shot and not a real post.  I don't care.  I rocked this sweater so hard and I'm prouder of it than anything I've ever made.  So there. :)

For the record, today might have been the personal handknit record - I wore four at once.  Sweater, scarf, hat and mittens.  Plus mom wearing another of the handmade hats.  Here's some evidence (mittens not visible; scarf not Raveled):

In much more current news, knitting continues on October Frost.  The photo below is from a few weeks ago.  It pretty much looks the same, though - just a few more repeats done.  I'm not going to photograph again until I finish the back.  

I also cast on for a Hemlock Ring blanket, using yarn that had been set aside for another purpose.  It's my Othello, from Rhinebeck '07.  Lovely yarn.  Fabo blanket to be.  It's going to be a long-term project...

As for the Carribbean, it was 70 degrees and raining with 14 foot swells.  Awesome.  So, no new freckles.  But lovely massages and facials.   And jewelry.  I'll save those for another day.  Plus some photographs from Guatamala.  We went to a rain forest.  It was, shockingly, raining.
