I always have at least one project on my knitting needles just to keep my hands busy and my brain alert while streaming the latest Netflix series or watching F1 cars race on circuits around the world.  A tally of projects, February 2022 through February 2023, totals 15 with six items designated as gifts for The Directors – my library loving, book reading, wine drinking group of retired friends.  Having missed joining the group due to my April Covid woes, each finally picked a favorite silk scarf or shawl last week.  Just in time for the summer solstice.

  1. Please can you share the name of the patterns for those first two shawls? I’ve been looking for a summer weight pattern for a while. I’m an F1 watcher too. We keep meaning to eat the food of the country they are racing during the weekend but sometimes I’m not organised enough. I must have a look and see what Austrian dish I could make this weekend.

  2. How lucky your book reading, wine drinking buddies are. Funny how now that I’ve learned to knit, I always knit while watching TV. Actually I pretty much knitting while doing almost everything. 🙂
