Eris is finally finished. I did a version of Meg Swansen's "purl when you can" for the bottom borders and sleeve finished. I did a non-random pattern of K3-P1 moving the P1 over after 2 rows, and then added a 3 stitch I-cord. It lays flat and the I-cord matches the edging on the collar. Had some trouble with the zipper because the size I needed wasn't standard so I had to cut the zipper at the top and still need to finish it off. But I'm pleased with the fit and plan to wear it out to dinner tonight! 
More pictures from Nova Scotia. The views of the Atlantic Ocean from the knitting deck were magnificent. More shots of the bunnies at White Point Beach Resort, some pictures of Lucy Neatby teaching,
and the s
tash I acquired while on vacation.
This is Lucy with her udder bag, post hand fulling. Very lifelike!
The group project was to knit a bag, using a technique you learned at the workshops. I knit the bag with a steek, and cut the steek for the opening. Then picked up stitches for the flap and added handles. It's the perfect size to hold the needles I use most, ready to take with me to the Ample Knitters' retreat in Oregon.
