From Sally — Fall Blooms

Filed under: Updates — surly @ 3:13 pm

I haven’t been knitting much lately; I certainly haven’t been whipping out the finished projects the way Susan has.  I do, finally, have two projects to show for my time.  Because I don’t post as often as my sister, I’ll show you one today and one later to stretch them out.

First, up — my Song of the Sea Cowl. The pattern, by Louise Zass-Bangham, is very simple but still has lots of visual interest. The yarn is Sojourn by Miss Babs. It is 65% cashmere and 35% silk. Need I say more? It is wonderfully soft, even more so after blocking. The color is Lady Bug. Although I envisioned making this cowl in a more neutral color, by the time I found the Sojourn at Fibre Spaces Miss Babs Trunk Show, it had been picked over. (That’s putting it mildly — this yarn was flying out of the store and for good reason.)



I do love pink and it’s so cheerful.

Speaking of cheerful, we created a little garden path for our beloved Thor. He insisted on cutting through this part of the garden, mowing down anything planted in his path. We surrendered. When I went out today, look what had bloomed next to his stone! One of my fall bulbs. I think it means he approves.
