Where do the days go?
Em and I went to the Stitches and Craft show today. If you like scrapbooking or quilting, it was great, but not so great for yarn. There was some nice stuff available, but on the whole, I was underwhelmed. I bought a few nice beads for Em's tutu, some sewing machine bobbins, a couple of patterns and some fabric, but that was all. Yes, I even come home with no yarn. I think DH was even more surprised than I.
There was not much available in the way of yarn at all. Ecoyarns had some nice Bamboo and Soysilk yarns, and Ashford Australia were there, but nothing called out to me. I nearly bought some Opal Cotton, but I resisted temptation. We met up with Donni, Ailsa and Donni's mum for lunch, and all in all it was a good day out.

Speaking of sock yarn, I took part in Beth's Unloved Sock Yarn Swap. None of my sock yarn is unloved, but it was a fun swap. I sent some of my sock yarn to Helen, and yesterday, I recieved this cascade fixation from Christy.

Thank you, Christy! I haven't used Fixation before, although there is some of the Elann version aging gracefully in the Stash.

Knitting? Yes, I have been.

The back of the Zhivgo cardi is done. It has a decidely apricot cast in this pic (on my monitor, anyway), but it's definitely pink. It's a nice easy knit, but I think I'll be glad to get to the lace edging.
Hey, remind me of that when I'm whining about how long the edging is taking! ;)
