This small lacey cardie with cap sleeves is knit from the bottom edging up, with no seaming. Because of the small amounts of yardage, it’s the ideal pattern for making the most of that preciously perfect yarn.
The Cloud Chaser vest is a design I’ve been dreaming of for years. Delicately cabled. Dramatically draped. The back features full cables, knit from hem to neck. The fronts are knit side to side, with a single cable detail near the edge. But the collar is the highlight here; wide and cabled and framing the neckline perfectly.
I agree – once read (or seen in the case of a movie) it cannot be un-read and can haunt you. Being sensitive endows you with gifts and insights valuable to yourself and others. Sometimes it is wise to protect yourself from the anguish of tragedy not so that you can see the world through rose-coloured glasses but because the forensic detail may not be necessary for you to empathise and ‘seeing’ it so vividly does not make you a better person.
I wish I wish I wish I could go…
Beautiful. I love it in all its drapey coziness.
