HUNTING ISLAND SHAWL YARN ALONG

"Doesn't it seem to you
that the mind moves more
freely in the presence of that
boundless expanse;

That the sight of the ocean
elevates the soul and gives rise
to thought of the infinite and the
ideal."

~ Gustave Flabert : Madame Bovary

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's a wonderful feeling when you

cast off a project, block it and  discover

your knit came out even better than you

had hoped, such is the case with my

Hunting Island Shawl, it is so much

prettier than I imagined. I adore knitting

with Meadow, it knits like a dream,

and while Cria Lace is soft and squishy,

it is a wee bit spitty so I had to really

be careful. A bonus to using these two

yarns was  there was enough  left over

that I could cast on another shawl

just like it to give as a Christmas gift.  

I followed the pattern, Water's Edge

exactly except I added three inches to

the main color and I'm glad I did just

to have a little more body to the shawl.

 

I love all of Cabinfour's designs and

look forward to casting on more in

the future.

 

While sitting on the beach I always have

a magazine in my beach bag and Organic Life

is a favorite.

 

On my night stand is The Truth According to Us

and just like The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society

this book has drawn me in and I am savoring 

every word.
