HEAT


 

 
How beautifully leaves grow old. 
How full of light and color are their
last days.

Sandness by Gunrun Johnston,
published in Wool People 5,
has to be one of my top 
knits. This sweet pattern is a
whopping 13 pages long and
very well written, even showing
you photos for the cast on.
in Ravelry Red on a size 6 needles
and blocked aggressively since
I wanted it light and airy; a shawl
to lightly cover your shoulders
on a cool night, something
pretty.

This shawl is a gift for someone
very special in my life, but I have
plans in the near future to cast on
another one, this time for me.

  9. Wowzers! 13 paged pattern? That sounds so daunting yet as a former teacher who used to type out a 6-8 sub plan, I understand. You knitted one beautiful shawl. That is certainly something to be proud of. Its recipient will be thrilled.
