things could get ugly



This is the beginnings of Hekla, a cool top designed and beautifully modeled by Cirilia Rose. The construction is pretty neat. You start out by knitting a striped scarf and the rest of the sweater builds off from there. It has been a while since I knitted anything so wildly impractical...this could either end up looking edgy and fun or kind of ugly. Keeping my needles crossed that it will be the former. Either way, I will have a head start on Halloween :)



Leaving you with some pictures of my hydrangeas in bloom. I have a few hours to myself this afternoon so planning on sitting outside with my knitting and taking in the glorious summer weather.
