I took this project with me last week to Tennessee and North Carolina. I figured it would be good car knitting. Bruce and I first went to Tennessee so he could show me his Dad's place. His Dad passed away in November, just a couple of weeks before mine, and he wanted me to see the place and help him decide what to do with it. I suggested that we do it the same week that I go to Hawkesdene for The Unique Sheep Retreat as I was already taking that week off from work, and the Retreat is only a couple of hours away from the house in Tennessee. I like the house. It is right on a lake, and the land there has a nice feel to it. The Cumberland Plateau overlooks it. We're keeping it for now with the idea of moving there in a couple of years. I'm eligible to retire in 2018. It is smaller than our house here, only a single floor with a fully finished walk out basement but it has some distinct possibilities. There is a full kitchen in the basement, and there is a garage built into the side of a hill. That space is huge and has a strange appeal to me. It needs a fair bit of work to make it habitable again, but it has such possibilities.
I will probably finish up this shawl today, just to get it done. I love the way the color patterns repeat themselves in the diamonds.
Here is another photo, taken on my dress maker dummy.
