I just received something very special in the mail: Bohus Knitting – The Revival. Oh my. Very beautiful. I already own Poems of Color by Wendy Keele (and there is overlap), but the new book is wonderful. It is written in both Swedish and English, with lots of photos and patterns. I saw the book being discussed on Ravelry in the group dedicated to Bohus knitting. I clicked a link and was off and running. I did not know how much the book would cost (~$56) or where it was coming from (Sweden) and did not care! It would make a nice gift to yourself!!
PS – am I the only one that gets Poems of Color and Poetry in Stitches mixed up??
And speaking of revived — last Sunday we had a phenomenal weather day. It was a gorgeous 85 degrees! Summer yet fall all wrapped up in one. I spent the day with a group of peeps that I have known for over 40 years. We went to Florida together a couple of years ago. Here we are with the mighty Mississippi as backdrop, enjoying a glorious day!

I love this picture for a lot of reasons, but mostly because my triple chin isn’t showing!! 😉
What a terrific picture! And indeed, it was a beautiful day. The book is on my Christmas list.

I have Poems Of Colour and I have knit the Wild Apple sweater and the pink and grey one but I forget the name of it. I won’t wear them lest I spoil them. I just look at them!!

Idyllic picture of you and friends. That cover with sweater is breathtaking.

I’m catching up my reading, and this fun story is only related in that it has a Swedish origin, but Merry Christmas!!
