I had a wonderful weekend in Michigan where the color season is really just beginning to move into full swing. I spent most of my time in Ann Arbor, but also got in the car for a little road trip to Lansing (pictures tomorrow). I didn't put a post together last night because we got into Chicago very late and because I was/am feeling a little bit under the weather. I think the back of Butterfly looks better in the sunlight anyway, so the wait was probably a net positive, even though my sore throat is still lingering.
I did get a good deal of knitting done. I finished the back of Butterfly, got past the armhole decreases on Fitzgerald, worked a bit on the second of John's stripey socks (until I discovered a mistake I couldn't easily fix in the car. Of course, some stash enhancing also occurred on Friday (of course pictures will ensue tomorrow), which meant that I had the fibery resources to get yet another project started.
While I was gone, there were a number of busy Audrey-a-longers -- I've got some new states to mark in on the map and some labels to get in the mail.
And for my little contest -- you have until the end of the week to send me your answers. Let me know where you think I've been!
your butterfly is beautiful. what a gorgeous colorway!
