Drum rolls… We have now reached the total of ten squares of our Kalevala blanket! So far this has been a magnificent journey of learning new things, fantastic colour explosions, beautiful feeling of communality and ecstacy of crocheting! Luckily we will be having even more of this many weeks from now on.
Thence to sow his seeds he hastens, Hastes the barley-grains to scatter, Speaks unto himself these measures: "I the seeds of life am sowing, Sowing through my open fingers, From the hand of my Creator, In this soil enriched with ashes, In this soil to sprout and flourish. (Poem II 293–300)
