SILVERLEAF IN GREY

In the rhythm of 
the needles there
is music for the
soul! 








I cast on September 1, the same
day Hurricane Hermine was making
it's way from the Florida toward
South Carolina.

As the feeder bands came through
and the wind picked up speed, even
managing to up root my favorite pecan
tree and lay it on the powerline, I knit.
As the storm blew past and things calmed
down, I knit.

By Monday evening I was casting off
and on Tuesday morning there was
a good soak and a gentle blocking.

Silverleaf in Grey!

The yarn a gift from my family in
Germany, together with the simple
elegance of the pattern has made
this knit something I will treasure
for years to come.

Thank you Lisa Hannes for sharing
such a beautiful and fun pattern.

  6. You are fast! Silverleaf is beautiful. It's ethereal yet cozy and full of positive energy. Is your pecan tree totally uprooted? Can it be saved?

  10. that is one beautiful shawl and I love the slight halo the yarn from Germany is showing! I bet every single time you wear it you think of them. I hope it gets chilly super fast so you can wrap yourself in it.
