new vacation lace and prize received!

Just back from Barbados, where I managed to knit some pretty lace cuffs for my cold hands at work–don’t worry, I mostly knit in the plane!

On arriving home, I’d received a lovely sock pattern from Joyknits designs (hearts ‘n hugs lace socks) and the knitpicks lace sampler, in the sunset hues.  Since those are not my colors, Knit picks has kindly allowed me to return them for the Sea View sampler!  I’ve never been so lucky at receiving prizes!  Thanks to all!
