in the hand

Looking at grids

It's been awhile since I've done any hand stitching.  Today I found some fabric that I really liked and started 2 by 2 until I had a grid.  Wool because it is warm in the hand. 

Overlaid now with the screen that has been catching raindrops all day.

Weather report:  High winds but from the south so it is warmer, heavy rains, dark sky. 

And then because I started considering the difference between knitting and sewing I started knitting...

Knitting in the hand

Thinking about my desire to make things whole, to put things back together. 

And that returns me to a favorite book... Finding Beauty in a Broken World by Terry Tempest Williams. 

"I trust what I can touch.  The surface of things is what we touch." 

And because it fits the day...A favorite song, Autumn Lullaby by Natalie Merchant, that can be listened to here.
