so, i started the vest over.
here are some steek shots. all was going really well.....that was until i decided i'd try it on. oh god. it's so long. i hope blocking will fix it, but if not, someone taller 
than me is getting a present! i love love love steeking, however, and i'll just make myself another vest if this one ends up like a tunic. 
see the glass of booze on the cut up vest? it is delicious framboise, a raspberry flavoured beer, and i love it with all my little heart. if you like raspberries, you should give it a go, even if you don't like beer at all. just an fyi.
i need to get working on my Sockapallooza socks...i fear that i may have lost my place in the damnable pattern and might end up having to start over. grrrr....add that to another tiny stash enhancement
--isn't this the prettiest color--and you have the mix for slow going on the socks. i'm planning on making a really loose-gauged kiri shawl with that Kidsilk. and just for justification, i got both balls for just a smidge over $18...that sale at the LYS was a dangerous thing, and i'm pretty glad i got out mostly unscathed.
i leave you with a picture of my new favorite thing:
