“And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer.” F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby
In honor of this year’s summer solstice, I created a five (5) skein mini set based on simple pleasures of summer. Tomato vines growing across the trellis and the aroma of sweet basil in the air. Slow days and starry nights. Our son’s catching crickets and firefly’s while dancing about. There’s a tall oak tree that lives far east of our ranch and is the home to a family of glorious owls. These stunning birds sure do have a way of demanding attention, for their presence is quite powerful. As a family, we enjoy owl watching and this has become a delightful summer tradition.
Summer continues … and with each free moment in honor of the season, I’ve enjoyed knitting on these beautiful socks. My sweet Summer Solstice socks…
