After a month of daily blog photos last month, I never showed you my favorite photo of all time. Mostly because it would have had to have been a photo of a photo.

What’s Your Favorite Photo?

Every morning I wake up and the first thing I do is make myself a latte (not exactly the first thing). It requires that I go to the refrigerator to get the milk. The feature photo is prominently displayed on the front door. It makes me smile every day.

This black and white photo was taken in Italy somewhere near Lucca. We were out for our midday dinner in one of the surrounding hill-towns. So the location of the photo brings back very fond memories. It was an incredible vacation. The photo reflects just how happy Thaddeus and I were on that trip…especially after that particular meal. And when I picture myself and Thaddeus, this is how I see us. Young and vibrant and happy.

What photo of yours do you display prominently so that you can see it often and evoke joy?

Current Knitting

I have to say (again) that the Sweet Surrender Wrap is a great design. It’s really well-balanced and beautiful in both texture and color. The design also lets me play a little with color and I’ve really liked both colorways I’ve worked it in so far.

This second version is being worked slightly differently. The lace section in green is supposed to be a 24-row section (except for the first and last section). I’ve opted to make it a 32-row section to make it a bit longer. I’ll only be able to know if I really love it after blocking it, but so far, so good.
