Blessed chilly summer — I know you’re about to change tomorrow (hello heat wave!) but so far, it’s been a knitter’s summer.

This is the newest in my ever-growing shawl wardrobe: The Age of Brass and Steam shawl. Is that an evocative name or what? And the lovely, lovely Malabrigo silky merino, color Arco Iris, makes it kind of brassy and iridescent in the best way!

Hoping there’ll be more summer nights, full of fireflies, good friends and chilly weather, so I can pull out the summer shawl.
