Getting Ready for the Bridgewater Fair

Haruni, pattern by Emily Ross, is finished. I knitted it using Elsebeth Lavold Silky Wool (3.625 skeins) and size US 4 needles.
I had purchased 4 skeins of the Silky Wool when we went to Newport, RI a couple weeks ago. I thought that I would make a summer tank top or something. I knew at the time it was a bad idea to buy yarn without a specific project in mind, but when has that stopped me? The yarn worked up beautifully in this pattern, which I loved knitting. It is very easy and intuitive. M asked, “Who wears shawls?” I haven’t the faintest idea. I find that knitting a logical pattern from a graph relaxes my mind after a hectic day at work. If that ends up producing a shawl, so be it. Whenever I see this one, I’ll think of the Tennis Hall of Fame and The Irregulars by Jennet Conant (as story about Roald Dahl as a spy in the US)
