A while ago I subversively cleverly began a smocked cardigan similar to one in an anthropologie catalogue. Well with the help of my mum (well she wanted to know what knitted garments were lying in my dog pile and once I explained all I needed to do was the smocking on this cardigan which required some mental calmness I am lacking at present .... it was all I could do to stop her finishing it on the spot). So Here We Are...and FO at long last.
The Pattern: Loop-de-loop cardy (my own based on an Anthropology catalogue, a Rowan pattern called Earn and a Jo Sharp Fitted Cardigan from Knit 3).
The Yarn: RYC cashsoft 4ply in colourway Deep
Words of Wisdom: I would like the cardy to be an inch longer and a couple of inches narrower in the stocking stitch sections. The sleeves could either have been 3/4 length or shorter. Right now they sit on my elbows. Now I need a cute fitted dress...

Tahiti 2005
- In February, 2005 a scientific party departed from Papetee, Tahiti to sail into the roaring forties and fearsome fifties to hunt for 55 million year old sediment. These are my favourite pictures of more than 300 taken documenting this adventure.
