Cuffs and Jazz and Other Projects

As promised, here are photos of the cuffs of my TTL mystery socks 2009:

I finished both cuffs yesterday, the colour is off!

The weather is not very cooperative and the gray makes it impossible to catch the real colour of those cuffs, the colour in real life is much richer and to the turquoise.

The detail of the cuff is interesting, I wonder how Kirsten continued this sock

I also wanted to show you my finished Shawl that Jazz but those photos came out really bad. Do you want to see it anyway to be entertained by the horrible photo of myself I bravely put on the internets?

Here you go:

My colours are much nicer in real life, I swear (the shawl not mine, silly!)

This thing is big even before I gave it its due bubbly bath, and judging by the weather, it will be used heavily around here.

I keep asking Joe if it is winter yet and he keeps claiming that no, this is fall!

This made me realise something very important:

I was wrong all these years thinking that my Israel is missing the fall! Apparently what is missing there is the winter as what is out here these days is a very typical good Israeli winter (alas, my little country didn’t have one of those for too many years in a row which is the reason of the very serious water problem they are now facing).

And now I better go finish my hat (Quincy) and knit on my cardigan – I am trying something a bit crazy with the cardigan, I will know in a few days (I hope) if it will work or not and then I will tell.
