Bartlett pears....it won't be long.
I'm all done with my Old Shale *Lace* Ring. The lovely
free pattern which you can find here has a different name..I just prefer lace over smoke, I guess. Anyways, this wonderful, lacy cowl can be worn around your neck for warmth or pulled up over your head like a scarf, & it's so light it shouldn't flatten your hair. How's that for a major breakthrough in headgear?
The picture below is a tad dark, but the colors are closer to the how it really looks. I used Schaefer Yarn Heather in the Sophia Smith colorway. The colors are turquoise, magenta, green & brown. (modeled by a vase of silk roses..;)
Back view...I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Can't wait for winter, now, so I can wear it & find out for real if it doesn't flatten my hair. I don't tolerate hat-hair very well...here's hoping.
Want to put some zing in your summer? Have a 'mater........salt? :)
Hope you're havin' a great summer, Y'all.

The cowl is amazingly gorgeous! I would wear it everywhere! I love the colors and how the drape of the knit folds softly.
ReplyDeleteTomatoes! I love getting one tomato off the vine each year, still warm from the sun, and eating it. Strangely, I love slurping out the seeds first *laugh*
That's really pretty and a great idea. I have some sock yarn that's been telling me it didn't want to be socks...hmmmmm..........
ReplyDeleteNana........I'm thinking you and trish might be from the same litter with the fresh off the vine tomato slurpin', lol. Your cowl is lovely!
ReplyDeleteThe cowl is simply amazing! Very beautiful. I have an idea, you come to my porch for tea and knitting, and I'll come down with my salt shaker for some of those yummy tomatoes!! Mine are still green, but I've had some cherry toms already. Yumm!

I love that cowl, feather and fan is one of the most beautiful stitches too.
ReplyDeleteThose roses made a pretty good model.
Ummm tomaotes... and I don't even need salt. YUMMY
Pears...? Tomatoes...? Yum!!! I love your scarf how pretty.
ReplyDeleteThe 'mater-D likes that cowl too! The roses shouldn't get to have all the fun!
ReplyDeleteYour cowl is absolutely gorgeous! Hope it doesn't flatten your hair too much!!
ReplyDeleteAnd the tomatoes--the just look scrumptious--I wish I had a place to plant some. Nothing like a tomato picked straight off the vine!!

Love your cowl. I'm not very fond of wearing hats...cowls might be the way to go...more things to knit...yay :)
ReplyDeleteThat pear is fabulous.....yum :)
So beautiful!
ReplyDeleteooooh, that's a beautiful cowl! I love the pattern and the colours you chose are lovely. I hope it doesn't give you hat head either.
ReplyDeletePears, I love pears and that one looks so yummy.
Love that little tomato on your header. What a hoot!!

I LOVE the cowl! I absolutely can't wear hats. Something like that might be a good idea for me. When we were in Townsend last month, I made a little trip to the knitting nest in Maryville and bought some of that same yarn, in a different colorway. I can't wait to use it. The tomatoes look fantastic. I live close to a farmers market and we are going through the tomatoes faster than I can by them.
ReplyDeleteI love the post title....rofl.
ReplyDeleteYour lace ring is so pretty. I've thought about making one myself. Now, I'm gonna wait and let you try yours out first. :P
My neighbor just brought over some maters last night...fresh off the vine.
Hugs!
Love the cowl (smoke ring) and the feather and fan pattern. The tomatoes look scrumptous. How about a tomato sandwich (white bread, mayonnaise and salt/pepper). That would be a delightful lunch!
ReplyDeleteHey Tea...
ReplyDeleteYou won my contest last week. Give me a shout with your address and I'll mail the prizze right out toy ou
Oh my gosh Tea! The cowl is absolutely beautiful, and I love the colorway you chose....so pretty!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I do love tomatoes and a light sprinkle of salt tops them off just right! :o) I sure do enjoy all your lovely knitting!
Smiles...

I hope you do not have a big watch dog that is loose at night if I was to accidently be in your pear orchard or garden after dark!
ReplyDeletebeautiful pear, maters, and knitting!
The tomatoes look soo goood, I wish we could have them all summer long.
