something infinitely charming
Grabbed a picture of a swatch drying on the windowsill. As Gryphon put it “there’s something infinitely charming about this photo.”
The never ending bind off is finished. I used Jeny’s Surprisingly Stretchy Bind Off, slow but surprisingly stretchy, and took breaks, lots of them.
I started the purple & grey shawl late last week and have been obsessed.
I’m working on the patterns for this collection of shawls.
I helped a friend move this week, and ended up with this vintage TV in the process.
In case you missed it I released Wafian last week.

Garter stitch and slipped stitches. Harmonious ease.
Super simple shaping creates a gentle wave along the edge of this side to side triangle. Garter stitch makes for a relaxing knit.
Two slipped stitches at either edge complete the shawl and add a twist of grace.
Understated elegance. Divine simplicity.
