It's been a very stormy week here with thunder and lightning keeping me up many nights. Yesterday afternoon we had another whopper roll in with very dramatic clouds. This is the wettest summer I can recall since moving to the area from Louisiana over ten years ago. The garden loves it and I've had quite a few veggies because of it.
Although I have a number of knitting projects on the needles at the moment I was unable to resist the siren call of that red Kauni yarn. Revontuli jumped on the needles yesterday and is progressing right along despite 3 or 4 false starts before I sorted out the (very easy) chart.
Would you like to trade weather for a few days? Our summer started off really wet but lately, it's been so dry that our backyard is turning brown. Tom doesn't mind, though, that means he doesn't have to mow!

That is a fabulous color for the shawl! Are you following the chart only? I looked at the pattern and realized it's in a different language.

I'm thinking of spinning a lace single from my Grafton Fibers rainbow batt, and making this shawl! I'll have to go check the yardage and see if I could make it happen :)

That is going to be a gorgeous shawl. Love the Kauni :)
