A little bit of random for a Sunday…..
Having spent the morning pulling out the scraggly remains of our 12 year old rosemary border, which runs along our driveway, and then replanting it with incredibly small, new plants, I stopped to enjoy the roses, which are in full bloom.
I'm getting ready to knit my wonderful friend Carina's Faraway-So-Close shawl pattern in yarn hand dyed by Morwenna of Mosaic Moon. I feel so lucky to have four skeins of this sought after yarn, and am hopeful I have enough to knit a hat to wear as well.
The reason I'm eyeing a new project is that Emmaline is close to being done. Fourteen more rows to be exact. I'm a little bit nervous about how the neck rolls at the top — I see one other Raveler who had to do a fix with a line of crochet around the edge, so I'm contemplating that I may have that same issue.
The Faraway So Close shawl is a really fun and fast knit. I did my first one in your Nightswimming colorway (in Naiad merino, I think) and I love it. I’ve knit 4 of them so far, all in different yarns. I hope that you post pictures of yours!
The top is going to be stunning. I expect to see a photo of you modeling it,
