I have returniated!
Hello internets! *squish* I have returned from Alice Springs. My workshop went very well, and I really liked the woman who organised it. I did not like the hotel, which kept me waiting 90 minutes for my room to be ready (I would understand if it was in the morning, but it was 4 PM and rooms should be cleaned by that time of the day). The food was good, however; om nom nom barramundi and I treated myself to a Mojito.
And sadly, there is no water in the Todd. Apparently there was a lot about a week ago but it's all gone now. Alice is surprisingly green at the moment though. They've had a lot of rain. They also have a mouse plague - someone told me their cat is catching 3-4 mice a DAY. Cyclones, floods, locusts, mice - it really is the apocalypse.
Anyway, here's a pretty thing I finished lately:
Pattern: Dover Castle (Ravelry link)
Yarn: Starry by Dream in Color, colourway: Plum Paisley
Model: Lilies in the backyard
The colour is more accurate in this one. It's a lovely light dull purple with patches of pinker purple and patches that are bluish, almost green when you look closely. It also has tiny sparkles in it because the yarn contains real silver to give the sparkle effect.
This time it's modelled by the neighbour's tree :)
I call it my Camelot shawl, because castle + fantastic yarn + sparkles = Camelot :D
