Almost, but not.
There she is, Sahara in all her glory. Nearly done, but not done. I won't be taking her on the trip, the lace knitting in sequin laden yarn takes more energy then I have to give right now. She fits to a "T".
I was hoping to be the first FO, but I know another crafster has said she cast off, and another only has the arms left to knit. I have 2 cap sleeves, and a large front lace panel/neck-line still yet to do. Those k3tog tbl was hard on my hands. So Sahara will be here waiting for me for when I get back, and need to lay in bed and recover from Jet Lag. I have more important stuff to do now, like pack!
Packing yarn, needles and DPN's! None of the yarn is as day-glow-pink as it appears. The Hempathy is a beutiful dusty rose, and way over to the left is the cashmere which is a pretty heathery purple. That's all I have to give right now, I am exaughsted, but I just had to bind the body off, I simply had to. I know you understand :)

I'm dying to make sahara, but I'm waiting until other people have test-ran it, since I'm not sure it will exactly suit my body shape. But I looooooove it with a passion. Definately let us know all about it when you get it done - it looks beautiful so far! Am jealous in the extreme.
