no words necessary






We don't usually get vivid sunsets here, unless there's been a volcano I don't know about, or forest fires, so this was a real treat. Although the extensive contrails are a little troubling. Global dimming and all, you know. But spotting the tiny new crescent moon is always a thrill to me.




The Ekeby vest is finished. Since it is mostly holes, it was fairly fast; it's light and has nice drape, and not terribly warm. Mostly decorative. Oh, and it serves to slow me down as I go racing around doing my usual 4011 things at once, by catching on doorknobs and stuff. Useful. I may decide to try a tiny bit of controlled fulling, to make it tighter, with smaller holes and more body.

The vest is fantastic and looks great on you... my clothes are always getting snagged on hardware on doorjambs... which is weird, I KNOW that stuff is there...
It's plenty roomy for a bit of fulling to happen, eh? I like the idea.

Beautiful sunset.
