Upon reentry

I'm back at work full-time, another temp job.
This, after the a wonderful, meloncholy, beautiful, silly, exhausting weekend with my 3 college roomates.

(be kind, it's first thing in the morning)

I didn't know what to expect. I had no reason to worry: we had a lovely visit. The one who lived in London for the last year drives across the country next week.

I miss her already.

In anticipation of this cavalcade of emotions, I knit a comfort shawl.

From all my comforting yarns:

my handspun

and more handspun (the light blue is alpaca, the first fiber I ever bought), the green/blue yarn is my very first yarn, spindle-spun and the bit at the bottom is Birthday yarn from Hub (DiVe), from 2 years ago.Birthday yarn from my London-living friend (she bout it at Loop-Rowan Biggy Print) in a twisted drop stitch pattern.It is, in fact, comforting, and I see many more in my future.
