There's a new love in my craft life, it's called Noro. I can see now why Noro yarn has such a reputation, these colours are striking and beautiful (I don't think i've done a particularly good job capturing this, sorry). This is Kureyon 88, which neither shazmina or I were convinced by when we saw it in a ball, but it just comes together so beautifully once you start to knit it up. I was thinking that this would be great for the fingerless gloves you knitted last year too Kel, and I think that's actually what Shaz plans to do with hers now that I think of it. This scarf went to a friend as a 40th birthday present. I'm secretly glad that i'll still get to see it now and then! I also got a whole bunch of Kureyon 128 which was intended as a Clapotis that hasn't eventuated - See! I do have ADC! It's just that I have the variety that means things don't get started, rather than the variety where they remain unfinished...Anyway, i'm considering combining this yarn with some other Jo Sharp yarn I have that also didn't become the project it was intended for (if further proof was required) and make this vest. But if anyone knows of a better V-Neck vest pattern let me know.
BTW you can also see another big love of the moment in the background - my bulbs! I heart bulbs (I heart Zeusey too of course). I can't wait until they start to flower, i'll post some pic's if/when they do.

Hi Zeusey! Hi bulbs! Yay noro scarf! OK, you're back in the AADC, you can be officially considered a Founding member. Shaz has claimed secretary! Umm you didn't just buy this wool last weekend at the craft fair did you???!
No! Shaz gave it to me the week before! I have further proof of my ADC coming (see, I haven't even gotten around to finishing that!)
ok then ur OK to be back in the AADC fold. It's an association man, we gotta have rules!
