The knit project is one I wanted to make since I saw it on this blog - I went out and bought the book the same week. I am using this yarn
that I bought at The Yarn Tree in Brooklyn.I am still waiting patiently for the yarn I bought from Mystical Creations and Red Bird Knits - I hope the buttercream comes before I leave - the other probably won't, as it is dyed to order.
Tomorrow my mother is spending the night at the respite center - a trial before we go away - please keep your fingers crossed that all goes smoothly and she has no trouble sleeping over. I don't know what I will do if she can't stay there.
Here is a picture of my mystery stole -
I haven't gotten very far but it is coming out really well - the yarn in elann's Puruvian Alpaca - so soft and warm it will be very very cozy when it is finished.Oh and I splurged and bought myself these:
just cause i could.

Oooooooooo.... I want those shoes.
Shawl looks yummyy too!
Lovelovelove the shoes and the shawl! Nice choices! I hope your mom does well, too.
Wow, Colette, those are fantastic shoes! And I love the shawl you're working on. I hope you mom's overnight went well so that you can look forward to the vacation. You'll have to tell us how the Luxor is; my sister wants to get married there next March, and I'm crossing my fingers that there's an opening left (she's aiming for St. Patrick's Day... we'll see).
Anyway, I want to know what it's like! I hope you have a great week!

That mystery stole will be so beautiful when finished--the Peruvian Alpaca is lovely stuff! I was wondering, would you mind sharing the name of the book that the candle shawl is in? It is stunning!
I am so excited for you that your vacation is finally here. If you have any time in SLC, be sure to stop by Soul Spun Yarns (2343 E 3300 S Ste 5 Salt Lake City, UT, phone (801) 746-5094). I was in SLC this summer and that is one of my favorite LYS's! Have a great trip!
