I am so glad you commented on the differences in your cinematography this time. The drone shots are always instructive but this time they added so much to your narrative, and the artistic quality of some of the shots brought tears to my eyes. I have watched it through twice and can truly say that if I were still teaching history, I would ask for permission to use this film as a wonderful intro into monastic life. You can almost see the monks at work and prayer there.

I quite like knitting flat! I feel like I make progress quickly and my work is more portable that way. It can be a bit of a drag to have to turn the whole work when you’re doing sweater sleeves in fingering weight yarn. My seamed sweaters have aged MUCH better than my seamless ones over the years, regardless of yarn content. I’m also OK purling colorwork, so I’m hoping to tackle some Marie Wallin flatworked colorwork projects in the future. I’ve only knit her in-the-round things.
