She Comes Scattered
Just a little peek of my just-off-the-blocking-board shawl. It's beautiful, it's warm and it's mine. Sorry. I notice how my projects travel by colour. I had a green phase last spring/summer, then recently I have knitted a lot of blue-ish purples and pink fuschia, and now I appear to gravitate towards rich reds. I hope I will never have a pastel phase. I do not think I'd be able to keep my sanity. Anyway, proper photos to come this weekend after Official Photographer and I manage to have a full day together.
Official Photographer called me this morning to let me know that Crowded House will be touring the UK this spring and that tickets go on sale tomorrow. I have written about this before, so it suffices to say that Crowded House provided the soundtrack to most of my life. I connect places I have lived or been with their songs, and although I no longer listen to them on a regular basis, they are "my band". For one glorious moment I contemplated seeing every Scottish gig, but then I checked ticket prices and also remembered that I will be on my way to West Yorkshire for work reasons when they play Aberdeen. If you had told me ten years ago I would have to forego seeing Neil Finn live for matters involving sheep, I would have thought you mad.
Anna has written an interesting post about her relationship with "things", crafting and feminism. I enjoyed reading it. You may too.

I love that shawl! Isn’t the pattern addicting? I’ve knit 3 of them in the past 2 years, and I’d like to try one in fingering weight yarn next.

Love the colours of the shawl.
Over ten years ago, we took a sponteneous trip to Norway to see Neil Finn. Alas, we all grow older.

I liked the previous one, but this shawl is really lovely. I want one! Is the yarn available in the UK?

@Roo: I don’t think so :(
