I am officially on color #4 of my latest knitting project. Which means I am somewhere between halfway and almost halfway done. Pattern and yarn info are here.
This modular knitting is quite satisfying. It's almost like you finish a mini project each time you get done with a triangle.
I thought I would find picking up and casting on stitches over and over again tiring. Banish the thought. It is thoroughly enjoyable. There will be more modular projects in my future. In fact, if any of you have a modular knitting project that you think is right up my alley please do share the name of the pattern with all of us.
I knit quite a number of these triangles when I was sitting with Angie. When I wear this little scarf I will forever think of her. Me knitting. Her watching. Intermittent eye contact and smiling. Every once in a while she would ask me a question. Mostly quiet sitting. Knitting is good like that. It keeps you occupied so you don't try to clutter up a nice peaceful space with needless words.
Love the colours & scallops! Wishing you many more comforting memories of Mama Moss when you wrap yourself in this beauty!

What a beautiful post. Very true. I will have to give modular knitting a try. You have inspired me.

I've done lots of modular knitting too and agree it is fun! You've done the Swirl shawl. There's the Wingspan shawl (on display at the YB). Vivian Hoxbro has two books of modular patterns, Domino Knitting and Knit to be Square. Or just search Ravelry for "modular" and see what comes up.
I'm glad you'll have such good memories associated with this project.

love this Carol. I totally agree with you, a lot of grace can be found in the quiet spaces.

Once again your fine work. I have never tried anything as intricate, but love your philosophy of uncluttered peaceful space.

Every time you wear this beauty you'll wear it like a hug from your sweet Momma Moss. Your color choices are divine, love neutrals.
I've never tried modular knitting but might give this a whirl...I'm heavy into knitting 12 pair of socks for 2014. Learning many different methods of making toes, heels, pattern/textures. knitting is my meditation.
I sent a link to You Tube of the 2 Cellos...you'll love the music, I think. Check your email.
