Samadhi Saturday

Every year I sneak across the street at midnight or dawn and leave a birthday package at my neighbor's door. This year it was especially fun. Some of you may have heard that the Washington/Philadelphia/New York stretch got a little snow yesterday. . .here is what it looked like at midnight (not bad for a cell phone picture!). And it was so quiet -- no planes, no trains, hardly any cars. It was a beautiful night.

I made Samadhi, a Martina Behm design, using yarn dyed by my friend the Black Bunny. The yarn had been ripening in my possession for several years, and finally found its purpose.

The picture on the gridded board shows the colors almost truly. My scalloped edge -- well, let's say I hope I have more patience the next time I block one of these. Because I will most certainly make the pattern again.

Happy birthday, neighbor I am glad to call friend!
