Singer, writer, knitter; not necessarily in that order.
A Facebook friend requested a purple scarf, and I had this (Fantasy by hobbi) yarn left over from a shawl I made recently. Also, I‘d had to frog a nearly completed Boneyard shawl; and a garter stitch shawl was the perfect breather before attempting that shawl again.
