Ahhh... That's much better.
Vacation trip was fantastic. Beach, pool, naps, the city bus (man, they really tear-ass around) and good family time.
Very little knitting completed. The best of intentions.
::buzz buzz::
Pattern: Dragon Scale Mitts
Yarn: Frog Tree 100% Alpaca Sport Weight - cool organization.
Buy their stuff.
Note: US2 needles used to snug em up a bit.
Fit nicely, even on my big paws.

Oh...I'm so glad the vacation went well...even if NO knitting was accomplished.
That vibrant yellow yarn is something else indeed...how fun!
oh goodie, i didn't think anyone was going to sign up for me to pay it forward! you can send me your email address at scharta at hotmail dot com or if you're on ravelry i'm zarafa there and you can pm me.
You're back! Hooray. I have a knitting crisis.
Your fusion is glorious - a breath of tropical air.
Wowee WOW! Awesome yarns. I just got a wheel and...man, I can go so much faster now. Now I can put all this great inspiration to use!
I can't wait to see your cobblestone come together. I am drooling over all of your yarns!
What a cool looking wheel! And that yarn is scrumptious!
Hey, glad to see you are back! And glad you had fun.
And, you can send me any 'mistakes' you make for Pay It Forward---this way I won't feel too badly about what I'm going to have to whip up for the poor souls that wanted to get something from me. (those fingerless gloves are the best!)
The spinning? Wow, and yummy!
Your spinning is so lovely, nuttnbunny! It's very inspiring.:) And you should definitely knit a little Cobblestone - it would be so great!
Yay for a great vacation!
I hope you understand that I only declined b/c I'd feel guilty receiving anything. It has nothing to do with not wanting to pay it forward or against you at all! I think you're fabulous and I think paying it forward is a great thing!
Oooh what yummy, yummy yarns! I am drooling on my keyboard. How is the new cadillac working out for you?
Welcome back! Blogland got lonely.
Nice cadillac.
