    I once had an extremely long conversation with an older woman who ran a knit shop. She said she could look at a person's work and tell when they were stressed and when they were relaxed by the stitches. I believe her. I have to get into a more mellow place when I knit, which is probably why it is so therapeutic for me!

    Love it, it is gorgeous! I don't think I would have thought to put the colors you used together, but the colors are totally gorgeous together!

    This might become a winter project of mine too!

    JustMegan79, frogging is pulling out/undoing your work.
