Six weeks between blog posts. That's a spring semester, if ever there was! It's not over yet, so here is just a short post.
My friend's lace project inspired me to tackle one for myself, and after a few false starts, I settled on a scarf version of "Melon Pattern" from Jane Sowerby's Victorian Lace Today. I used
Juniper Moon Farm Findley, a very nice 50-50 wool-silk blend, in the color graphite. The pattern was at the right balance of complexity and ease to provide a calming influence during these busy weeks.
