YARN ALONG

Take any path you please, and
ten to one it carries you down
to water.

Yesterday I showed you my evening knit

project, but it is too large to take on road

trips and most days my road leads to the

beach so I needed something smaller.

 

I grabbed some lace weight yarn and a size 6

needle, cast on 140 stitches and am knitting

a few rows, purling a few rows.  Super easy,

very portable, a perfect project to work on

while listening to waves and seabirds.

 

I finished reading The Memory of Water

with my feet in salt water. A nice summer

read with pages detailing the lowcountry

[my home], some mystery to make you want

to keep reading, but not so much that a nap

in the warm sun would be missed.

MY SOUL LEAPS

I find myself at the extremity of a long beach.
How gladly does the spirit leap forth, and
suddenly enlarge its sense of being to the
full extent of the broad, blue, sunny deep!
A greeting and a homage to the Sea! I descend
over its margin, and dip my hand into the wave
that meets me, and bathe my brow. That far-
resounding roar is the Ocean's voice of welcome.
His salt breath brings a blessing along with it.

~Nathaniel Hawthorne

 

 

I hope your weekend is

filled with the sights and

sounds of something

beautiful.

 

Love,
