FOR THE LOVE OF PURPLE

At any given moment, a knitter was
always knitting with at least two yarns:
one that was the actual fiber, and
another that was an invisible thread,
the essence of the knitter, that accomplished
every stitch. A wish held and sustained
with clarity of mind while knitting would
somehow wend its way into the fabric,
and later when the fabric became a
sweater or a hat, that wish would
materialize.

I finished my Orchid Sunday
evening and then immediately
got my iron and ironed away. It
was so much fun to iron my
knitting, something I never
thought I would do. I love this
shawl, the color, the design
and the cost, it cost less than
$10.00 in crochet thread to
knit.

My Mike has a cousin who is due
with a wee little girl any day now
and I wanted to knit her a little
something so I cast  on Puerperium Cardigan
and then I will be knitting Ginny's
New Born Hat to go with it.
Truthfully there is nothing so
sweet as baby knitting.

I'm still reading The Wishing Thread
and enjoying it.

Joining Ginny.
