Antique Shawl
I finished this shawl over a week ago and it's officially the first holiday gift of 2020. I love how this turned out! I've knit many Helen Stewart patterns and enjoy how the directions are easy to follow. There is nothing like steadily increasing stitches on every row watching the shawl take form. The yarn is from Apple Tree Knits which I highly recommend. The gradient color themes they create are fabulous and the wool blends are beautiful. I am officially done with my 'pink' phase of knitting (maybe!). Ravelry notes Joining Ginny
I have an idea for purple in autumn :-O black grape or plums or purple chrysanthemum, At least that is what I would get for purple at home. In Australia, season colors are totally different. Thanks for stopping by :-)
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely - isn't it fantastic how trying to focus on a particular colour makes you look harder at your surroundings? I'm loving this photo project - I hope they do it next year when I'm living on the other side of the world and have a whole different set of challenges!
ReplyDeleteDocumenting life through the lens of a camera certainly does seem to make you see things you don't ordinarily notice. When I take my unintentional "blogging breaks", I really miss noticing the little things of life that bring you pleasure. Like those beautiful red leaves against pretty green backgrounds! Great photography!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Red is my favourite colour - and autumn is my favourite season. Great photos!

ReplyDeleteMmmm apples. Great shots! I'm a knitter too! :) Thanks for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeletereally pretty karen, and that frodo of yours is one fetching dog!
ReplyDeleteI feel exactly the same way. Since the challenge started I have been seeing the world with so much more richness! At the grocery I saw some apples after I had already posted and I thought how perfect they would have been for red. So, I was delighted to see them front and center in your post!
