The weather in Oberlin has been absolutely perfect lately. The mornings are sunny but it rains in the afternoons, turning the entire world this deep, grassy green. I spent the morning blocking a lace project that's been done for over a month - pictures to follow - and went to town to take care of printing and sending off some paperwork to Kansai Gaidai, then to the yarn store and off to read The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle at Slow Train. I wasn't really into it for the first fifty pages or so, but all of sudden I got caught up in it; it's a strange book, almost dream-like, but not even the more obtuse elements of the plot are without meaning. I'm realizing how much I miss reading during the year, although I do think that school has taught me to read with more intention.
And oh, glorious summer! How you have allowed me the opportunity for this photo to occur:
Three lace patterns. Three different yarns. Hundreds of hours of joy.
The turquoise is another cashmere scarf in the same pattern I used before; the lavender is lilac leaf, the grey is my pretty boy Crown Prince.
Good coffee, good yarn, and a good book; what else could a girl need?
