What a beautiful knit this has been!

  Anne has designed a few patterns with an insect theme recently and I have happily offered to test knit them for her. This is a wee bit strange as truth be told most insects make my skin crawl. but as you know I love my bees.  Fireflies as well as dragonflies rank pretty darn close with my beloved bees.....so these knits have been dear to my heart.

Interestingly enough, Ashley asked me if I would take some engagement photos for her and Brian today.  Hmmm......a good opportunity to sneak in a few fiber photos as well, don't you think?

This picture of Ashley makes me smile.  She recently had her haircut and this particular picture with her hair tucked behind her ear reminds me of a woodland faerie, which suits her perfectly. Fairies and fireflies....I'm betting they are closely related...what do you think?  Being of Irish descent I'm thinking they are very closely related <grin>

 

All in all this was a very satisfying knit.  I loved working with this new yarn and the pattern was easy and interesting all at the same time. 
I would highly recommend this knit!
