The end of summer is almost here –
that time of the year when it is not too cold for a coat but not warm enough
for just a shirt. So I made this light shawl as a wrap to enjoy an evening
stroll. It was fun to work with this yarn as they had a lovely mix of rose,
lavender, mint and grey. The shades matched the petunias growing in my patio and
I spent many a summer evening there with yarn in hand surrounded by flowers. I
should admit, my mind wanders at such times and I get thoughtful. I realized when
I was halfway through the shawl that I favoured the rose and lavender over the
mint and grey and would always think if I crocheted fast enough I would be done
with the less adorable shades and reach my favourite ones. I’d like to do that
in real life as well - Just lie low through the tough times and ensure you make
the most out of your best times. And towards the end I even started liking the
Mint that I chose it to make the standout color by using it for the border of my
shawl completely. So to anyone who is going through tough times – Just hang in
there, rosier times are awaiting you!
