simplicity revisited
A few months ago I shared with you two new yarns, both organic, that I hoped would bring simplicity and calm to my needles. I wanted something I could wear as the weather became warmer and decided the Beaded Cami by Black Dog Designs was the perfect pattern for the Rowan purelife organic cotton. It's soft and has a gentle drape to it that is really lovely. Knitting can be many things, but I think I love it best when the process becomes a meditative act and gives me a moment in the day to breathe, relax....and just knit.

I agree, a meditative act that brings me calm and relaxation. And I must check out Nora's pattern.

What a beautiful pattern! It's has lovely details, but without being overly fussy. I must admit to having fondled the Rowan organic yarn, and I'm glad to hear your positive review! Your pictures are beautiful as always :)

Lovely. A friend of mine is knitting something from the Rowan organic cotton, it is really wonderful stuff. I am sure this piece of loveliness will get a lot of wear.

That post oozes calm. Thank you for reminding me that knitting does not need to be frantic and rushed.

I think you're right. When knitting allows you to be at peace within and without then it is truly a wonderous art. Of course it's also nice to be challenged and to experience the joy of achieving.
