Is this gorgeous? I love this Madelinetosh Chunky in Ink.
Sitting here in the side yard, I'm amazed that today is a sunny day with no gruff engines of any kind, no chipping, no blowing, no whining of saws. In photos of our yard, it looks like we are in a little bubble. But it's definitely a tiny bubble in the city. Right outside our little garden is a fairly bustling neighborhood. At the end of the block, a city bus passes or stops every 10 minutes. The transit stops sit at the foot of a big hill with beautiful, open drinking water reservoirs that mark the entrance to a huge public park. People pass our house all day long to get there. Across the street, there's a preschool. With shrieking.
Today, but for the crows it was quiet. Unexpected and amazing.
The soundlessness--and the facts of my knitting--made me feel like I had traveled in time just a little. Because I had the shawl start above.
Then this.
And then I got to live all those moments again. I knit the same thing, in the same yarn, in the same quietish moments.
Then caught up with myself, caught traction and moved forward. And the shawl is bigger.
What is in the nondairy caramel sauce? Do you use soy or almond milk? knitpurlgrrl@att.net

Hi there Elizabeth,
My friend Beate invented the caramel sauce, and first made some vegan condensed milk. She put up a post about how she did all that. I have not attempted anything like this myself. :)
