The Summer Sampler Takes Flight


......or at least I enjoyed the lovely breezes for our photo shoot together!


.....and the views!



This has been a wonderful bit of fun and learning. Thanks to the internet, I finally learned to both knit AND purl backwards for the edging of this shawl. I had LOTS of practice on the edging and feel rather proficient at it now :-).



Thanks, Ms. Bad Cat for another wonderful design!
