Initially I pictured field work framed by this bucolic and pastoral haze, and certainly there is some of that feeling. When the morning fog burns off and my research subjects start flying in earnest, that quickly ends and the day takes on a hot, sticky, smack-the-back-of-your-neck feeling…it’s just not what I envisioned.Nevermind, some excursions allow for plenty of knitting time.

This is the Pinwheel Blanket in progress for M’s bun in the oven (but because she won’t see it for a few more weeks, this post will not appear until after I’ve mailed her package). I was able to do a fair amount of work on it, and it’s finished now, just waiting for a warm enough day to dry after washing and blocking.
Yarn = Manos del Uruguay Silk Blend, 5 skeins
I can’t say enough nice things about this yarn, which makes me swoon.
