next project??

While at the beach, i did finish the boring socks, got 1/2 of a hat done for Zylie and did not start the fluffy cuff socks. i used
the pattern for the strawberry hat, but used a dark purple so it is either a blackberry or an eggplant hat. The next time i do
silk fusion, i'll make bigger pieces in light coral/pink/yellows and use them to cover lamp shades for the living room which
we recently painted bright coral. my silk fusion tiara will just have to wait til i get the more practical projects done!

other projects: since the fluffy socks will be the carry along project, i'm trying to figure out what the big at home project will be. i want to knit a sweater for me me me... probably a pull-over. have been noodling on a photo i took in Greece of a section of a mosaic floor which is intriguing. it is a beautiful flower with quite a bit of shading in the petals, and i'm just not
sure if i'm able to translate it to graph paper and then incorporate it into a sweater... i get all verklempt just thinking about
it! here's the mosaic:

and on the other hand, i've been wanting to do the Sakori vest from Folk Vests, and some sort of fair isle, and yesterday i
came across the picture i'd cut from a magazine several years ago for which there is no pattern, but i think i could probably
do it. i'll scan the pic and put it up. later.

here's the scan of the sweater that i just might try to knit. it was shown in an article on Japanese knitters and was an entry
in a contest for "Turkish Design" sweaters. i doubt i'll put in that design at the bottom of the sweater as that is not an area
of me that i wish to draw attention to!! just want something similar to the rest of the sweater.
