Last August during our annual sailboat trip I was working on Sorelle; this year, the as-yet-to-be-named top-down raglan pullover (Tilli Tomas Fil de la Mer) is still torturing me, although I have finally got the sleeve worked out, and hope to finish soon. As you can see from the calm water and lack of sails (and the fact that I am letting $$ worth of yarn and hours of labor sit there untethered), there was very little wind the day I took this photo.
I saw this gorgeous swift at the Nantucket Whaling Museum-- while at sea, whalers apparently spent their ample free time creating gifts for their womenfolk out of whalebone. Note the carved fist that forms the base-- with wedding ring, no less! (Was this a message to the wife to remember her marriage vows during her husband's long absences?!)
And below, a little fellow we met on the beach (no worries, he was returned safely to the water).
Love the sailboat picture. We just returned from a sailing vacation, and your picture made me do a double-take. "Is that my picture?" But your knitting project was a lot larger than mine! I had a February Baby sweater on the needles, and forgot to bring the rest of the yarn...but I did get my knitting picture for my blog post!
