Hi Pene -
I'm looking forward to seeing Nancy Bush's new book too! It's an
eagerly awaited book, it sounds like!!
Yesterday, I finished the first sock in a pair I'm knitting from Noro
Kureyon wool. This worked up quickly, and kept my hands busy while I
felt too miserable to make lace (classic head cold, which is finally
going away). I love the way the sock slouches on my leg, like the old
leg-warmers... And the fact that the stripes on the two socks won't
match is quirky and fun. They're going to be fun to wear - perfect with
the Birks!

I've been knitting recently also. I like to do something in the
evenings which don't strain my eyes.
I have 10 balls of Noro Silk Garden which I bought while living in MA,
USA, & I liked the stripped scarves that some knitters were making.

But I can't wear mohair against my skin, so I've knitted a sideways
vest using a pattern from Knitter's magazine (#62).
I finished it yesterday, & I now have to sew the shoulders & do
something to the edges - probably crochet an edge.
This week I will hunt out some buttons.
And speaking of shawls, I can't wait to receive Nancy Bush's new book
"Knitted Lace of Estonia".
Has anyone started something from this book?
Well, I better go & do something useful,
Pene in Tartu, Estonia,
where it is above 0 C degrees today.
