On a recent flying visit to Berrington Hall near Leominster I noticed this stonework on the side of the mansion outbuildings and it made me think of a semi-circular shawl … Those geometric shapes would be perfect to knit, and the centre flower-head detail adds a special touch. The design even has a border pattern, to complete the shawl analogy.
I love the visible repairs too – honest craftsmanship, carried out with such skill and care.
Here’s larger photo to show you the context …
Impressive, eh?
Have you seen anything that has reminded you of knitting this week?
I’d love to hear about it!

Looks like one to crochet, too.

Oo, yes, you’re right! I’ve been thinking of starting a crochet project, so perhaps this is it 🙂 What’s on your hook at the moment?

Another granny-square throw. BUT I am learning to knit the Continental way … who knows what that may lead to!

Great! I wish I’d known about continental knitting when I started … You may be inspiring me to change the habit of a lifetime and see if I can master continental instead! 😀
