MOOD INDIGO
Paua shell-inspired color waves
I believe I may have mentioned that I'm currently in a deep blue phase. Not blue as in sad but blue as in mysterious, enlightening, soothing and dream-infused. Blame it on New Zealand and Australia. Had I not just returned from the southern hemisphere, pink might be my thing right now or red, maybe. Instead, I'm dreaming in purples melting into indigo slipping into horizons brewing sky blues. So intense was my obssession that I immediately went to my favorite online shops and bought the deepest, richest blues and purples I could find, seasoning the stash with flashes of sparkle and luminosity.
See below and you'll understand why:

Blue on green complements of New Zealand
Paua shell cardi continues to grow…

KNIT A BEACH: WORK IN PROGRESS
Sheryl Gillian's Nova Scotian beach
As I write this entry, many, many beaches are still unfolding across the world. While my motely little crew of knitters cast their lines across the waves at the real Knit a Beach here in Nova Scotia this August, others continued to build sand castles and roll surf and move rocks until their seascape looked enticingly true to their own personal sea dreams. Now that summer is over, many beaches will continue to grant their owners the peace of the shoreline as these projects continue throughout the winter. Sheryl from Knit a Beach made hers pictured above to look truly Nova Scotian while others aimed for something with a more tropical feel like Mary Lou's black sand beach.
Keep those beaches coming! I never met a winter that couldn't use a beach tucked in there somewhere.
Next posting: back to backs
