The Hitchhiker Knitted Shawl

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again. I LOVE this pattern! It’s so well-designed.

•Works great with hand-dyed sock yarn, as the colors show up and play in unexpected ways

•Convenient… you just knit until you run out of yarn. Hurray!

•Mindless. This pattern was very easily memorizable so you can knit and chat. Or knit and watch tv. Or knit and whatever.

•Comfy! I love it when I make something glorious and it turns out to wear easily as well! You just flop it around your neck however and it looks great. 😀 Hurray!

Anyhoo. Great pattern. Fun knit. I loveet.

 

ORDERS:

In orders news, I sold so many of the new Autumn River that I plain ran out of dyes for that. Eek! So I ordered them and they have finally arrived and I should be able to get them all dyed up tomorrow, hopefully, and as soon as they are all dry in a day or two, all remaining orders for that color will finally get shipped out. Woo! Lesson learned. Always have more in stock than expected.

Yikers!

PERSONAL:

I try not to get too personal here cuz we’ve all got lives and complaining doesn’t help much. But I’ve been awfully low lately. It could be worrying over your orders. Or it could have been the extreme darkness and unbearable cold we’re suffering here in Alaska right now. Or who knows. But I slipped really low, got really sick and thus have been super quiet lately. I don’t like to post or anything when I’m not on top of my game.

I always hope you’re encouraged and uplifted when you read my posts, and so know, that if you’re going through a rough time, it’s okay… We all do. Sometimes the future is literally so scary to me that I can’t think about it.

It’s important to remember in times like these that we are more than these physical bodies put here on this earth to survive. We are light and love and peace and joy and all that is good, wrapped in temporary physical forms. YOU are beautiful. You are needed! You are whole. You are light and life. All is well, even if it doesn’t feel like it. Know that someone cares about you and that someone is me!

And remember, all we have is right now. Peace is found in the present.

Much love from me…
