I recently finished a test for Anke of Ankestrict. If you don't know about Anke, she is a well known German knitwear designer. I've test knitted for her several times and she is lovely.to work with. Her sweater designs are often minimalist in style with small details that elevate the sweater from plain to polished. She reminds me of a modern Kim Hargreaves. The yarn is Brooklyn Tweed Shelter in Narwhal.
I'm standing under an arch of and old Climbing Blaze Rose. Over the years the metal archway has settled down about 12" and now I'm the only one at 5'1" who can walk under it without ducking. My husband keeps muttering that he should do something about it but it doesn't bother me at all! That reminds me, I'm working on a rose post. I took so many pictures that it will take a full day to winnow through them all.
About those pictures--I thought I was smiling, but now that I look at them, I look like I'm pretty grim-faced but my new mantra is to not to be so picky about my pictures.
