This is a square of farrow rib that I knitted for my knitted patchwork blanket project. It was a nice straightforward two row pattern, so I didn’t have to concentrate too much:). I don’t know how this rib got its name – I’d love to hear from you if you know. The word farrow has to do with producing a litter of pigs, or if used of a cow, it means not pregnant. Quite fascinating really!
While I was knitting, I listened to a podcast where the poet Mary Oliver was being interviewed. She spoke about her poetry and her grounding in the natural world. Her poetry is delightful. What a lovely way to spend an hour!
