My sister claims that there is an appropriate Beatles song for every mood or circumstance. I think she may be right . . .
As I slogged through the knitting of my Tinder cardigan, this Beatles tune played over and over in my head.
Beginning way back in late September.
the wild and windy night that the rain washed away
High in the mountains of Utah.
has left a pool of tears crying for the day
And all the way back to Michigan.
why leave me standing here, let me know the way
Taking a break for the holidays.
many times I've been alone, and many times I've cried
And then, right at the end, struggles with the buttonband.
anyway you'll never know the many ways I've tried
And finally. . .
and still they lead me back to the long and winding road
you left me standing here a long, long time ago
don't leave me standing here, lead me to your door
A long and winding road, for sure. But totally worth the trip!
Ravelry details here.
It's beautiful and looks perfect on you! Lovely!

Beautifully styled, Kym! I bought the Bedford pattern a few months ago, but didn't start it because I like Tinder so much more for its versatility. I think I have just enough Grignasco Loden for this... yay!

That was our class song (Bronson, Michigan, 1980)

Be honest. It was so worth it, wasn't it? (Easy for ME to say, huh?.)

It's truly wonderful and I'm glad I was there for the early stages of this sweater. I know you'll think of Utah every time you wear it!

Fabulous! Looks so pretty with that scarf. I've knit the back and I'm a third done with a sleeve. It's a lot to knit, but the pattern was very well designed and written, which makes a world of difference.
