An English Garden in Red Rock Country
July 19, 2007
Doesn't she look quite marvelous against the red rock? The shawl, sillly, not me! Of all the places in Utah where my finished knits have been photographed, no place is as amazing as Bryce.
Hidcote felt like the wings of an angel as I stood on the edge of the canyon. She feels like angels breath on the skin.
Lace has only been part of my knitting repertoire for 3 years and Hidcote is by far the most complicated project to date. Her finish gives me a true sense of accomplishment and I love wearing her delicate beauty. Zephyr is so light and soft it can be worn year round and is perfect for too cool offices, movie theaters or restaurants.
Hidcote designed by Miriam Felton
Yarn: JaggerSpun Zephyr Wool-Silk 2/18 – 2, 2 oz balls
Needle: Size 4 Addi Lace
Size: 84" x 40" apx.
Time to Knit: January 1, 2007 – July 9, 2007

Oh, I agree - you, Hidcote, and Bryce Canyon are all beautiful! Bryce is one of my most favorite places to motorcycle!

I think that last picture of you and the shawl and the scenery needs to be blown up poster size. It's abslutely gorgeous!

What a picture! Hidcote draped over you with the lovely canyons in the background. You better frame that one. I wish it were easier for me to knit lace, maybe one day. Splendid job!

She looks like she could fly... as indeed she can and does, metaphorically speaking, of course.
It's hard to believe the vista behind you is real.
