Summer continues apace in August. Did you know
that this August has TWO full moons? The night skies are beautiful here. The
stars and moon glitter and we take the time to look beyond
ourselves. There are stacks and stacks of salt marsh hay in tidy bales down
on the marsh. Locals wonder when those protected plover chicks will fly and
watch in wonder as thousands of tree swallows swoop and twirl as they return to
the wildlife refuge again. Nature gives us so many colors, textures and
designs. We see beauty and patterns everywhere.
We are inspired to create.
CHILDREN’S BUTTON JACKET, #46 - a lovely gentle over-sized children’s jacket, a great layering piece.
The pattern calls for sport weight doubled but can also use a soft worsted
weight in the same gauge. Worked in 1 color or 2, the simple garter stitch
makes a beautiful, simple fabric and shape.
MAC’S SPORT SOCKS #90 knit with textured
organic cotton. The color is gentle, earthy and minimal with a snug fit around
the instep and soft rib around the leg. Are these real socks for daytime wear or
"slipper socks" as we call them at our house? No one needs to know
you wear them for both.
