A sunflower field is like a sky with a thousand suns. Seeing a meadow of giant yellow flowerets can’t help but make me smile. Drowning in a sea of yellow is what brings me joy and peace….
Those bright summer blossoms inspired me to knit the rustic country cottage blanket, featuring pretty floral lace motifs on either side and bottom edge, and cable centre pattern.
