"O Mole! the beauty of it! The merry bubble and joy, the thin, clear, happy call of the distant piping! Such music I never dreamed of, and the call in it is stronger even than the music is sweet! Row on, Mole, row! For the music and the call must be for us." The Mole, greatly wondering, obeyed. "I hear nothing myself," he said, "but the wind playing in the reeds and rushes and osiers."
- Kenneth Grahame, The Wind in the Willows, Ch. 7.

My Willow Leaf Stole by Linda Choo has finally been finished and blocked. I originally queued this pattern up in 2009 for the the 2010 shawl challenge and just did not get round to it. It was a case of too many patterns and just not enough time. It is third shawl for 2011 but the first one I have managed to get blocked and daughter to model the photo shoot.
It is longer than her arms. We have to do some gardening before we can have a proper photoshoot as it is dangerous out there. The camera also seems to have developed a blurr but that could be due to the sunlight so we are going to try this again later in the day when the day is not sooooo bright.

Divine! Is that daughter of yours getting more elegant as time passes?
ReplyDeleteHave I been following this blog that long?
Elegant you must be mooming ... She is lopping round in leggings, shorts and the t-shirt. The suggestion that she brush her hair was told Nope with that attitude of take the far queue. She needs a good detatching ala short back and sides and brick for her head. She is now 6'3". Those arms are getting really really long.
ReplyDeleteYeap to thinking I have been blogging about knitting for over two years fairly consistently thanks to the 2009 New Years Resolution.
