A SWEET SMELLING YARN ALONG

Perfumes are the feelings of flowers,
as the human heart, imagining itself
alone and unwatched, feels most deeply
in the night-time, so seems it as if the
flowers, in musing modesty, await the
mantling eventide ere they give
themselves up wholly to feeling,
and breathe forth their sweetest
odours. Flow forth, ye perfumes
of my heart, and seek beyond
these mountains the dear one
of my dreams!

~Heinrich Heine

I have enjoyed wearing my
poncho so much that I decided
I needed another one, and
am thinking of maybe knitting
a third [in black].

Churchmouse's Yarns and Teas Pattern
is easy to follow and the end
result is so much fun to wear.
I have had women stop me on
the street and ask about it. One
elderly woman even ask if she
could try it on...now to me
that is a great compliment!

This go round I am using
Elsebeth Lavold Silky Wool in grey
and will crochet a picot edge
in lavender.

All my reading this week has
been on audio as I have been
busy [as a bee ;)] pulling weeds
in the garden. I am listening
to The Distant Hours that I
first heard about on a past
Yarn Along. I am completely
drawn into the story and find
myself staying to work longer
than scheduled just so I can
listen to more of the story.
