i am currently being a good student and reading the required articles for my archaeology tutorial next thursday. this week: critical theory. last week some other theory. the week before that: indeed, more theory!  just a bit too much theory for my brain to absorb.

so to relieve boredom, and stave of insanity: knitting!

i finished one project this week: the Rayne Wrap cardigan, I have been making since january. No photos. need to weave in ends before a final photo can be taken.

and of course, finishing one project, meant i could start another: Brompton. I am making this out of a 4ply – 5ply yarn in a lovely lighter tweedy blue. As it is a top-down raglan, progress should be fast, as I have other projects that I really should be working on. but in my mind it is probably better that i work on things i know i will enjoy than rush to finish something, and not have the energy to rip back any mistakes i might make. complacency is a good friend of mine.

I had the opportunity in February to participate in an archaeological field school/heritage management expedition to the Recherche Archipelago off Western Australia.

Here are just a few snapshots from my time on board the STS Leeuwin II.

I didn’t want to leave…
