Since my last post if have been busy working on new projects and learning new techniques. I have completed my Inca Collar Tunic with has a collar that is colorwork along the lines of Faire Isle. I completed the Roulette Scarf. I have also started a scarf using Laura Bryant's color blending technique. In the planning stages are an Intarsia project, a diagonally striped tee using Naturally Caron Spa, plus the yarn for a bunch of socks, an Alpaca top, another top that will feature Nina from Fiber Arts handdyed silk and Naturally Caron Spa, and a top using Bernat Baby Coordinates in peach. Here are pictures of the most recent finished projects.

This simple tee made with Naturally Caron Spa is made to be worn with an earlier lacy cardigan made with the same yarn.
This is the Inca Collar TunicThe top picture shows more of the collar detail
This view shows the full tunic modeled on my duct tape dress form.
This is an original design done by me. The colorwork collar is based on an Inca Design from some Incan pottery.
It took me several tries to get the tunic done to my satisfaction. But it was a real learning experience not only into my first adventure in Faire Isle type color work but also in designing a garment from conception to completed project.
