This is the best bit of my daily walk to work - crossing the Forth and Clyde canal between locks 26 and 27. The canals in Scotland were all overhauled as part of a year 2000 project and ever since, they've been really well maintained and are great to walk along or lounge beside.
Finally we have a bit of yarn content. This is some Hipknits aran weight silk I found in the reduced bin here (the last few skeins of this colour in stock) which is destined for this pattern. Finally I feel like I've found my summer project and now I have to track down some 4/0 silver-lined seed beads so I can get started. I'm normally fairly monogamous in my knitting - I rarely have more than one major project on the needles at once but Betty is getting to me (though more progress has been made - I'm nearly at the arm-hole decreases on the back) and I need something to feed my desire for something a bit more glamourous! I think this pattern will hit the spot. I think I may even have enough yarn left over to crochet an evening bag to go with the stole.

Oh how I love pictures of canals! I love the gas tower too! Gas works and canals really go together. Where I lived in london on the canal had the address "Gas Works Basin No.2" which you can imagine was a source of delight to anyone who asked for my address. Love the colour of your silk. I have some pink silk from a few years ago but I've gone off the colour now. Lovely pattern too - haven't seen that one in Knitty before. Happy Knitting!
Wow - your pots look great. I love growing things - I'm always amazed at what can grow out of a teeny-tiny seed - like magic!
