Just for Now

How could a basket filled with luscious skeins of soft wool not make a person smile?







And how could knitting on a sunny porch while gazing at birds and treetops not be the best place in the world at the moment?


What is better than knitting one's first Ishbel? It could be knitting the second Ishbel while wearing Damson. I bought the wool in Scotland in West Kilbride at Old Maiden Aunt. The color is called "bracken". Knitting with it evokes memories of the glens and mossy vales of Scotland. Bliss.



And how could a pair of red shoes not make the world a little brighter, too?
