It is not so much for its beauty that the forest makes a claim upon men's
hearts, as for that subtle something,
that quality of air that emanation from
old trees, that so wonderfully changes
and renews a weary spirit.
~Robert Louis Stevenson
I am coming along quite
nicely on my Bark Tank,
[this, only in wool]
which I just realized needs
a project page.
The back is complete and
I love the little opens spaces.
I just read this, so there
may be a chance I will
be 'in fashion' for once ;)
I am still savoring
The Yarn Whisperer,
words that touch the
fiber lover in me.
Joining with Ginny
and all the Yarn Alongers.
* Update: Ravelry notes
love how the tank blends in with real bark! It's lovely and you are going took fashionable and lovely at the same time.
