A little something unexpected
Don’t you love seeing something familiar in a new and different context, a little unexpected twist?
Bet you’d expect to see Rowan Kidsilk Haze used in scarves and shawls, but how about a sheer tank top with color work? Is it unexpected? Yep. Does it work? Yes indeed.
This is the Hydrangea Tank on Knitty.com – soft, silky and sheer, colorful – I don’t think I would have come up with this idea on my own, but I love it! Hmmm, I’m thinking that if knitted a few inches longer, it might make a pretty little sweet nothing… as in “Wait right here while I slip into something more comfortable…”
On the home front, we’re going into week two of no dishwasher. Something inside it gave out, and water was seeping into the cabinet next to the dishwasher. Fortunately, DH is handy, so he’s going to fix it… someday… Meanwhile, I’ve rediscovered the zen-like pleasure of hand-washing dishes. Ah, modern life.
Still getting ready for the International Quilt Festival and trying, without much success, to squeeze in a bit of knitting time to unwind. I finished my Malabrigo Crofter’s Cowl this evening, but I want to block it before I photograph it again.
Glad it finally stopped raining and longing for some cool fall days,
Sue
