Lilith in Violet

I'm really enjoying this latest knit. It's not that challenging, of course. That seems to be the criteria these days. The yarn, on the other hand, is a teeny bit challenging. It's hairy, you see: mohair and linen. I remember some years ago, when a craft book publishing house put up a contest for a button displaying what type of yarn you were, upon answering a number of questions. I turned out to be mohair. Hmm..Hairy? Sticky? ME? (but oh, do I love this yarn, even if it's a bit of a challenge to TINK)

Ok. I'm mohair. As long as I'm this knit and this color and this addictive, I'll be happy to be mohair. That will also suit The Meezer, as she adores mohair!

Mmmm... mohair... Silky and soft, with a lovely halo. Not a bad thing to be at all! And that color purple is SO you :)

Hard to tink sounds like a good personality characteristic - you stick to your guns! Purple guns, of course.

Namaste

I honor the place in you,

which is of love, truth, light, and peace.

When you are centered in that place in you,

and I am centered in that place in me,

we are one.
