A Postscript on Feather and Fan

For those of you who suffered thru the sad tale of the feather and fan shawl during July:


























Here's a couple of photos that will show the feather and fan in a new light:





Yes, that's knitting guru Pam Allen fondling and praising my feather and fan shawl!

She likes it! She really likes it!

More about the Knitters Review Retreat in the next couple of days. It was wonderful and overwhelming! Talented, friendly knitters, gorgeous hand-knit items, beautiful setting, gracious inn--and do I dare mention cashmere?! I promise, all will be seen soon.

Summer Memories

Remember way back in July? The feather and fan shawl I started--nice and boring. The blue of it reminded me of the North Country's sky and the ripples mimicked the ripples in the lake where we vacationed.

Well, it's finished!





As these NYC days grow chillier and darker, I'll remember those boring, lazy summer days of sky, sun and water.

As I wrote in July:

"Trees, rocks, water. Ducks and canoes. The daily visit to the ice cream stand. BBQ on Saturday night. Logging trucks. Motor boats. Sitting in Adirondack chairs on the dock. Jewel-toned sunsets. Drinking coffee on the porch. Bears everywhere!"

Happy memories to wrap around me this winter.
