Sunset In The Park

may my heart always be open to little
birds who are the secrets of living
whatever they sing is better than to know
and if men should not hear them men are old






may my mind stroll about hungry
and fearless and thirsty and supple
and even if it's sunday may i be wrong
for whenever men are right they are not young







and may myself do nothing usefully
and love yourself so more than truly
there's never been quite such a fool who could fail
pulling all the sky over him with one smile






-- e.e. cummings --


This lovely little shawl was a perfect summer project--easy lace at a fast gauge.
Better yet? It's the absolute right color for fall.

The edges curl a little (even after blocking), but I think that's just part of its charm. ♥
