Girasole for the soul

Oh my goodness. Working on brooklyntweed’s lovely Girasole, a wedding gift, already overdue. Finally decided on cascade ecological wool after hemming and hawing for weeks. The yarn seemed underwhelming for so long… Until you knit with it. Knit stitches transform this yarn completely. I am in love.

The pattern is made for knitting addicts, each row lulling you to the next, each chart charms you into trying the next one…

Almost done with the sunflower… It’s good to get a little sun in January…

It’s fun.
