Not a bad way to pass the time on a hot summer day.
it is already in the high eighties nineties here and the plan may change to sitting under an umbrella somewhere, sipping ice water and knitting on my shawl-which shawl is now in need of an alternate border plan. I am not enthralled with the one that came with the pattern ( or maybe I just cannot execute it properly but I have unknit it at least two times and it is bugging me that I cannot get it right sooooo) and I am barely good enough to create my own, so I have been scouring my lace books and thinking about it. A tough job, but someone has to do it.
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...
