knitting neels

There has been some actual knitting going on, too, you know. I started Heidi‘s wedding shawl about a week ago… this is strictly air conditioned knitting for the moment.

…and with the yarn I picked up in Amsterdam, I started a sock.

The yarn is Regia Design Line by Kaffe Fassett in colourway 4451. Speaking of Kaffe Fassett, I witnessed his range of yarns for Rowan in the flesh: they are much, much yummier than any shade card can do justice to.

Even though we just arrived in Bangkok, the first thing we’re going to do is book tickets out of here! Chiang Mai is top of our list so we’re going to head out now to the train station and book the overnight train for Sunday. As for later, we’ll probably swing by the Reclining Buddha at Wat Pho and pick up some less glaringly obvious western clothes at the Khao San market. Back later with sunburn and fisherman pants!
