just say it once, Thoreau.
I don’t remember who made the observation – why did Thoreau say “Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity!”? To be truly simple, shouldn’t he have just said Simplicity!
Anyway, that struck me this morning when I was handwinding a ball of madelinetosh merino, in graphite, for my Mondo Cable Cardigan. The yarn is lofty and soft, and the subtle variation in color that characterizes madelinetosh yarns is physical and lovely. And the resulting ball is beautiful, showing the work of a hand rather than a machine.

Now and then a moment of simplicity strikes, you know? A moment of just stopping the buzz and noticing. I’m trying to help those moments happen more frequently.

Oh my. That yarn is gorgeous. I haven’t tried any Madelinetosh yet but it is definitely drool worthy!
