In which my superstar-archaeologist-lifestyle necessitates that I temporarily abandon knitblogland (and the U.S., as it were).
And away we go...literally. So, I leave tomorrow morning for the UAE to excavate to my heart's content for five weeks. I'll be filling my days doing nerdy archaeologist-y things, like this:
and this:
And digging, of course...this is what I'll be digging:
And a little sneak peek at amenities...
And deserty, camely goodness (in the middle of winter, I might add!)
In knitting-related news, everybody should go check out Julia's absolutely fantabulous edition of YARNIVAL! It's out now! Go read it! Julia did a SUPER-fantastic job with it, and I'm not just saying that because I got featured, either...but I DID in fact get a YARNIVAL shout out! Whoo! Hope y'all enjoy my contribution, silly as it is!
I'll be back mid-January...hope everyone has a wonderful month of holidays, and you will be hearing from me again in the New Year! (And...drum roll, please...a new Etsy handmade soap shop in early February!)

Bon Voyage Superstar-Archaeologist! Have a wonderful trip! I'm looking forward to hearing all about it in your posts and photos when you return.
Awesome. I want to see camels. Have fun & be safe!
I hope you have LOTS and LOTS of FUN!!!
Fantastic! (I realize that archeology is not exactly indiana jones, though :)
I hope the field work/lab work goes smoothly, with even a little (safe) excitement thrown in!
Tell us all about it when you get back!
Have a great trip! Travel safe.
Have a fun and safe trip! (So excited about the soap shop!)
Have a great trip and take lots of pictures! It sounds like a great, exciting, camel spotting time!
Wow! Have a great trip! I'm sure you'll have some great stories upon your return.
ooh, have fun!
I'm missing your posts already, but can't wait to hear all about the dig. A million years ago, I worked at NIST, and the office they gave me (as a summer undergraduate intern) was the home for someone who collected shards of pottery from digs and then used some kind of nuclear reactor-related dating method to figure out how old the pieces were. All of the desk drawers and cabinets were overflowing with pottery bits! Have a safe trip and lots of fun.
