one more vacation-themed post... things that might be of interest to other knitters/crafters...
like sheep in a cathedral in rome:
or a tapestry in the residenz dedicated to sheep sheering:
the timing worked out so that i got to go to a sheep and wool festival with claire while i was in germany!
lots of travel time equated lots of knitting time and i finished my matchy-match sister cowl (also known as rhythmic (rav link)) while in germany!
then i cast on for my *8th* annual red scarf project scarf (this one's a 3x3 slip stitch scarf (rav link)):
while in london, we made a pilgrimage to the holiest of holies - the cath kidston store:
one of the most amazing parts of the trip was getting to meet up with anna of anna's creative corner and her adorable son luke while we were in london. we had lunch and then chatted while the kids played in a play yard. this was our first time meeting in person, but it felt completely comfortable, like catching up with an old friend!

I love that you and Anna managed to meet up! It makes the blogging world a very small place! Did you bring back any woolly souvenirs with you?!

That rainbow yarn is simply fantastic and the lovely photos of your finished cowl have lit the fire to get my butt in gear and finish mine! Can I whine that it was pushing 80 here a couple days ago??? Where is fall!?

Oh Melissa, we had a such a great time meeting up with you. Luke keeps talking about Lily and what he did with her :-). I agree, it felt like it wasn't our first real life meeting. x

First of all, your cowl looks totally scrumptious! Mmmm I want to try it on!
Secondly, how wonderful that you had such a great meet up with Anna- I can't believe how big Luke is already!
And lastly, you are totally making me wish I'd bought some of that rainbow roving- wowza is that gorgeous! And I think Mateo just might need a pointy grey hat this year...
