Finally back home! We were sad to leave, but now that we’re home, we’re glad to be home. =) I’ve posted a brief summary (with some pictures) on my other blog; check the 10/5 posts. Meanwhile, I’ll share here things on the knitting front of my trip:
I’ve finished knitting up the Debbie Bliss dress. All I have left is to block it, sew in a button in the back, and weave in a colored ribbon through the decorative holes. And then it’s all set to give away! Here’s the front:
Here’s the back:
While I was overseas, I was able to meet a couple knitters!! It was alot of fun to finally put faces to the names and blogs. I met Laura in KL:
And went yarn shopping with some of the SnB girls in Singapore! (from left to right: me, Lois, Cara, Matilda):
I also had lunch with Emy, but alas, neither of us remembered to take a picture. Next time! =)
Lastly, I’ll end this post with me on the Ka’anapali Beach (Maui), attempting to knit. Shortly after this picture was taken, I immediately put away my knitting, because sand was getting everywhere, and the air was humid with salt water. I did make lots of progress with my Samantha baby sweater dress, pictures will come soon!
Goes home from a great trip with a finished knit in tow. Way to wrap it up! :)

Hi Ruth, it sounds like you had a wonderful time. I’m glad for you. You look beautiful in your pictures and oh the talent you have…the baby dress is gorgeous! I’ve got to come back over and read about your trip..its 1:04am here. I don’t know how it got so late..well, we were out shopping and came home and decided to ‘have’ the evening at home anyway, ever do that? Thanks for coming by Knitting Kat = ). It was nice of you to leave a comment for me to find after I came upstairs from putting together a little collage kit for a friend.
