Blackhole AKA Stardust is finished. I am very happy with the results. Louet Kidlin is very soft after it is washed and I am enjoying wearing it next to my skin. The cardy is very wearable. the only I would change if I had a time machine would be to make the sleeves a little wider. Drum roll....here she is...
Pattern: Stardust from Knitty
Yarn: Merlin by Louet
Words of Wisdom: This was a pretty straight forward pattern. I made the ribbed section 9 inches to add a little length. I made the ties a little narrower (16 stitches). The biggest change though was in sleeve length. I have little use for short sleeves. I was aiming for 3/4 length sleeves, but futzing around with the sleeve caps, trying to get them to fit into the body, made the sleeves longer than I wanted. Oh well, no biggie. I would recommend this pattern for a light cardigan to throw other outfits. You can dress it up or down too.

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.
