In early April, the American Society of International Law and the International Law Association held a joint conference around the theme “The Effectiveness of International Law.” We may not have been able to do everything on our wishlist, but there are plenty of round-ups to catch up on all the news and events: ASIL Cables posted throughout the conference; the International Law Prof Blog wrote a piece on three female judges of the International Court of Justice (ICJ), who were honored at the conference; IntLawGrrls posted a group photo of all members attending this year’s conference; and DipLawMatic Dialogues blogged from a librarians perspective on the proceedings of ILA-ASIL, including a piece on the Clive Parry Consolidated Treaty Series.

We were delighted to see so many friendly faces. Below is a slideshow featuring some of the authors, editors, and contributors who stopped by to say hello during the week.

Well, finally. There's some new knitting in my shop. Its been a long nap!



I love these new pieces. They all feature cables, and take inspiration from my favorite place in the whole world, San Francisco.



I'm doing shorter scarves this time around, which can be buttoned up to make a cowl, or draped artistically around your neck, or just tucked into a collar to keep out the chill.




There are more pieces on the way. I also just found out I have some local holiday venues I need pieces for, so I will be knitting knitting knitting madly for the next couple of months.

I do take custom orders, so if you're planning your Christmas list, and see something you like but would like it in a different color or something, please let me know.

Right now I have some tweed that I think needs to be the next one...so I'll sign off for now.

Have a good Labor Day weekend all of you in the States who have an extra day off and some plans. Just don't try to take the Bay Bridge into the City because its closed! Not since the '89 quake has that happened, and boy do I remember how much fun that was (NOT). Me, I'm staying put and...no surprise, knitting. Just hope its not super hot, bleah.

We're making progress on this! Its all squinched up here, and will look different when its been blocked. The edges are rolled up and it will stretch out quite a bit. But you get the idea.
Its slow-going, even with me being a fast knitter. One extra thing to deal with, in addition to the difficult pattern, is to match the yarn when a new skein is joined. Since its a gradated yarn, you can't just start the new skein wherever it is in the color shift ~ you have to find the place that matches where you left off with the last one (if that makes sense).



I will figure out how to do some smaller pieces with similar complicated patterns. I'm obsessed with getting this one done first!
And I'm shooting for September 1 to have my whole 'line' done and in the shop. Wish me luck...


Here's my Phyllo, sleeping in his perch. Does this look comfortable to you?
