shades of inspiration

Knitting has continued as a smaller part of life than usual, but as always is a source of comfort and relaxation. I realized the other day that I have petted textiles since a very early age. When I was wee, my grandmother gave me two of her old cashmere sweaters as blankies - named Blue and Gold - because I loved fingering the lovely soft fabric so much. 

Inspiration is around me every day in this lovely place - in shapes, textures and colors.

It translates itself into less ethereal applications.
