Yarns - A Shawl for Colder Winds

     


     The cold has come here in Colorado.  As if a switch has been flipped for Fall.  Knowing Colorado we'll have our hot days in September, but by October we can have snow.  So I've started a real warm looking shawl.  Thick super bulky yarn and a lovely cable down the back.  Medhel an Gwyns by Kalurah Hudson.

     I'm making mine also (like the above shawl) in Lion's Thick & Quick Wool-Ease in the color Fossil.






     I'm still reading Brave Companions: Portraits In History by David McCullough, along with some other books.  My latest read was about the building of the Brooklin Bridge.  It's a fascinating achievement architecturally and as a human achievement.  I downloaded a sample of his entire book on the subject - The Great Bridge: The Epic Story of the Building of the Brooklyn Bridge.  I find the subject matter fascinating and a picture of the times it was built.













After Prohibition, the wine cellars in the bridge were opened - A Sip Of History: The Hidden Wine Cellars Under The Brooklyn Bridge.








Come join us for Unraveled Wednesday.

  1. I walked across the bridge last summer - it was amazing. Your shawl will be very cozy this winter.

  2. I love that shawl. I don't think I've ever finished one in worsted, but I'm pretty sure I have one on the needles ... somewhere in the house!
