Thanks to a perceptive reader, I realized some photos of Nell's scarf had been inadvertently dropped off both a blog post and the knitting page. Hopefully all is intact now. What  beautiful pieces readers have knit, using this pattern from Death by Cashmere. The pattern was created by a very talented knitter, Kelly Harms Wimmer, who was also one of my agents at the time. Such talent!

And here is Susanne  Freeman's beautifully knit "Nell's Scarf" knit up in the colors of the sea. Thank you, Susanne!

I'm a day late in my resolve to post every Monday (and in between when time allows). But my excuse is the best in the world--a house filled with grandchildren. They left today, headed back to Cape Ann, MA, and the quiet house seems empty without their laughter and cheer and wonderful hugs.

But tomorrow I go back to heavy duty writing of #5 in the Seaside Knitters mystery series...and that will be good, too.

Today was an amazing day in Kansas--low humidity, blue skies, 80s. Amazing. I hope you all fared as well. And it was even more amazing for me because my Cape Ann family is here for a few weeks to liven our days (Ruby is 2 and Luke, 4) and bring great laughter into our lives.
