Crazy Busy
While still in the process of catching up with myself (home and work), processing pictures, and enjoying time with grrlfriends (SnB was last night), this is all I can muster for the day. There was not as much knitting time on the trip as I thought (is there ever?) and learning the repeat lace pattern of Susan's new On the Vine Scarf was slow going (I blame airport distractions). The pattern will be on Susan's blog later today. It's loads of fun to knit and very beautiful. The Malabrigo Lace yarn is soft and heavenly, not only wonderful to knit, but it should make a warm and cuddley buffer from the cold this winter. Now that the pattern repeat is programmed (properly) into my memory the process should go more quickly.
Isn't it yummy?
Indeed!..I anxiously await the pattern!

It is indeed lovely! Welcome back!

Glad you are back.
I have 1 skein of Malabrigo Lace that I was wondering what I should do with it. This might be just the ticket!

I agree there is never enough time to knit when on a trip. But the scarf is going to be very lovely.

Gorgeous! But are those nupps I see? (I still can't do them)You're making me want to find something for my malabrigo and just toss everything else to the side. I hope your ankle fared well in the trip.

It looks so soft and inviting. I've been eyeing malabrigo. I've not been bit by the lace bug but I do love the yarn.
Posted by: Jennifer | July 30, 2008 at 08:31 AM
It looks lovely! Welcome back.

I actually reached out to touch the monitor I was so drawn to it! That's a luscious color, such a nice bright spot for the bleak winter drearies. I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Oh, and welcome home!

Yummy, indeed.
I hope the trip went well and you had time to enjoy yourself.

I've been waiting for the pattern since I saw your other blog post! It is lovely and I really want to make one. I have fondled the Malabrigo lace at my LYS. This is just the excuse I need to buy some :)
Posted by: Stephanie | July 30, 2008 at 10:53 AM
Ooh, it looks tantalizing so far! I hope you had a wonderful time, even though far too short.
Posted by: Birdsong | July 30, 2008 at 11:27 AM
That is stunning!
Posted by: Lucia | July 30, 2008 at 12:40 PM
Though I'm sure Susan's pattern would look splendid in just about anything, it really does look great in that shade of Malabrigo.
Posted by: Beth S. | July 30, 2008 at 12:49 PM
Yummy? You betcha!
(((hugs)))

Ah, crazy busy is such a good thing. The lace is beautiful. Our Susan is talented.
Posted by: Laurie | July 30, 2008 at 02:04 PM
Looks luscious!
Posted by: Lana | July 30, 2008 at 02:13 PM
I'm thinking of knitting this pattern in some handspun. Maybe :)
Posted by: Danielle | July 30, 2008 at 03:01 PM
Lovely, I love Malabrigo lace.
Posted by: Suzanne | July 30, 2008 at 05:24 PM
Very Yummy Indeed :)

Oh Margene, that colorway tickles my toes...it is gorgeous!! Susan is such a talented grrl!

I love that new scarf you're working with. Great job.

Very yummy!
Posted by: Angie | July 30, 2008 at 09:29 PM
Susan has another great pattern there, and I love the color you chose.
Posted by: Jane | July 30, 2008 at 09:34 PM
What a beautiful pattern and the yarn sounds wonderful. I love all the lace you do. I wish I lived closer and could come to SnB. I had such a nice time there and it has been really fun to get to know many you better through your blogs.

Gorgeous! And while at Sandy's I saw the Malabrigo Lace Swallowtail shawl that Cookie knit for her -- GORGEOUS. That yarn is extra-super-yummy! (I think it's the same color as your scarf, too)
