That little whirligig shrug was finished by Sunday afternoon! We had a really adventure-full weekend. Next post I will tell you all about our trip to AVAM and the new show, until then here is the almost completed shruglette with a wonderful specimen of it’s namesake.
and here it is taking some morning air in the garden today. All done and ready to fly to a very cute little fae-girl.
The front is just a little raglan sleeve-slope with a bit of a rolled collar. It is WAY adorable. I highly recommend it as a quick and fun knit. Double-plus bonus that it looks so damn cute on! The handspun was glorious for it– and I have so much left! Marigold has started a pair of charmed fingerless mitts with it– looking really sweet already!
Tomorrow I want to talk about ART, so here is my favorite photo of the girls from yesterday–
Those my dears, are Super “Magnify Your Faith Binoculars!” Extreme faith for extreme times the box says… also it says “WARNING: Do not look directly at sun through binoculars.” You wouldn’t think you’d have to remind your children of basic truths like that, but you DO! REALLY! They looked right up there! Plus tried to WALK with them on. DANGER BABES, they are.
I aquired a pair myself, which I am counting on to give me super powers for that tiny knitting and miniscule art.
“happiness is a form of courage”– Jackson, Holbrook
I read that on a wall yesterday. Take it to the bank. Or at least stuff it in your mattress for safe-keeping.
sweet dreams.
Whirligig shrug!?!….. sounds like a crazy dance!! Very nice colors. I love that photo of the girlie-gigs.
