a shawl for thich nhat hahn


the june challenge for the etsy fibre arts team is "heroes". my hero is thich nhat hahn. his writings have given me a structure for my spiritual beliefs. i'm knitting a shawl mostly from bamboo that beth of whorlingtides.etsy dyed and spun for me. the colours are like buddhist robes.

Hi Shawn,
I see that you are working with the yarns that we collaborated on. How are they working for you? I especially would like to know if the dragonfly and cocoon yarns are easy or challenging to work with. The colors look great and I can't wait to see the finished piece. If I can figure out how to link my blog to this page, do you mind if I point people in your directon?
Also, can't wait until we can meet at one of the Buddhist retreats. Best, Beth
