I don't have any finished projects to describe since the last post. However I have started making a baby cardigan using some of the beautiful merino-silk yarn I bought at Purl Soho while in New York recently. It is the most lovely yarn to work with, so soft and silky and easy to knit. I am making a 'garter stitch cardigan' using a pattern from 'Simple knits for cherished babies' by Erika Knight. The yarn is called Olivewood, by Manos del Uruguay, hand-dyed...a mix of blue and brown shades.
Also, in other news...our passionfruit vines have just produced their first fruit...I counted 10 this week. Very exciting. I had planted two varieties and they are intertwined so I'm not sure if the fruits are all from the one variety or a mix of the two. One is the typical black passionfruit, the other was a Panama gold, so now I just have to wait for them to ripen and find out which variety the fruit belong to :-)
