Memory, fair and sweet
August is a month of haunting dreams. The morning creeps in subtly with its sage, orange sun. The afternoon glows in its glorious golden array. And in the cool of the evening, a pale moon rises against misty skies, and crickets chirp placidly from within the lush greenery.
But that is THAT. Now for the bigger and the better: I have written another hat pattern! A couple different people have asked me about a pattern for a hat I made last year, and so I have finally put it together. The cabling is simply fantastic, and with the texture, the hat is SCRUMPTIOUS.
When I went to England/Scotland last year, I picked up yarn (of course). With wool from Edinburgh, I made a beautiful pair of mittens. With tweed wool from Queensferry, I made the first scrumptious hat. I love both of my souvenirs.
I did not plan on knitting the hat again, except that I could not remember how to do the decreasing for the crown. So, I started from square one and knit the hat again, a hat I consequentially do NOT need! But it is fun to knit, what with all the cabling and texture, so I don't mind that I probably won't keep the end result. I at least have the pattern done and almost ready to be published online.
It really is difficult to get any of this done, though, now that I am working full time. I am completing this post later than I wanted to initially, for there's still more for me to do tonight.... But I like being busy, or at least being busy without much stress. Life without any urgency is rather uninteresting, really.
Just some of my thoughts, then. So long for now!
There must be some way to meld into the wealth of these scenes.
And thus my more poetical side speaks. The prose in my life is urging me on to the point: namely, I have finished a few more projects. The first of these projects is the SCARF. This scarf is a striped creation with an impressive (and unexpected) greater-than-six-feet length.
Not only am I continuing in my stash-busting adventure, I am aiming to do more weaving projects this fall. Therefore, I wove a scarf. And I apparently did not know how long I was making it until I was done. Oh, well. A long scarf is not a bad scarf, right?
