Unquiet
Things

I can’t believe that it has been over a year since I lost my poor little Inkers.  At that time I started knitting a shawl to help me through my grief; I thought a memento, something beautiful and tangible to remind me of her would be a nice thing to have, and the end result can be seen below.  Afterward, I sent it to a lady friend on the other side of the country. It was the soothing, intimate process that I needed, that helped me focus on a task instead of dwelling on a loss.  Once finished, though it was an item I was quite proud of,  I found I didn’t need it at all.
