Braving Lace
A couple of weeks ago I was lucky enough to take part in a Nancy Bush workshop on Estonian Lace. Apart from a few pairs of lace socks I've never been brave enough to partake in lace but this is soon to change:

I used some Jaeger Baby Merino 4ply from my stash & really enjoyed the challenge:

Next I'm taking part in the Socktopus Mystery Shawl KAL
The first clue is to be released via Twitter on Monday but here is my swatch using Knit Picks Gloss in Concord Grape:

cool(er) 'dales
The dogs have a bath, blowdry, haircut & pedicure much to their disgust but hopefully they're feeling a bit better for it.

Still here
Lots of changes here including the fact that we're childless for the summer: DD is on her way to Australia, as I write, for the holiday of a lifetime.
What shall I do with myself?
Knitting is happening and I have 2 FO's but as yet no photos. Lady Eleanor should be joining the queue very soon and then I'll be casting on something new.....
