My father told me that his grandmother, Minnie, used to
make quilts. They were not art, he assured me, just made up of
snippets of old clothes , so as not to waste fabric and used to keep
warm. He remembers one, he says, all in grays and blacks and plaids.
Not art, he says, not meant to be beautiful.
Sounds like beauty to me. Maybe even art...

Yarn therapy in greenport
Kaffe Fasset by Rowan. I bought enough for mittens.
What beautiful yarn! I love those colors together. You'll have the prettiest mittens on the block! I used to knit all the time as a kid in Wisconsin, there's just not as much need to knit in sunny Texas, where today the heat index is supposed to get to 108F.
Happy knitting! Susan in Texas http://www.susanintexas.blogspot.com
