Handwork and The Craft

Sweet Baby Blue, Wrapped up Malabrigo

With a day to spare, I finished this sweater before heading north to see my family and the grandchildren. I was pretty happy with the way this little sweater turned out. The photo makes it look a bit darker than the deep denin-blue of the yarn -- but I do like the way the cables stand out! And that sweet, sweet face of my grandson...heart-melter.

Knitting in Blue For My New Grandson

Love this yarn -- Malabrigo, Rios in Bobby Blue. It is lovely to knit and I think will make an excellent and very cozy sweater for my new grandson, Lou. I'm working as fast as I can since he seems to be growing like a zucchini in the rainy season! 

A Detail of May Morris' Maid of Honor Embroidery

So wish I could be at the William Morris Gallery for this show!  Just look at this lovely detail from "Maids of Honor"  (Click on for a larger view.) I will be definitely preordering the book May Morris: Arts & Crafts Designer by Marsh and Mason.
