I love how the appearance of straight lines and symmetrical geometric shapes can give the illusion that everything is placed just so, and the world is just a little more orderly. For those of us with more than a bit of chaos in their lives, this little illusion of order can be just what the doctor ordered.

So join me in knitting up some straight lines within a triangle, in a luxuriously soft combination of raw silk and silk-mohair. You won’t regret it, I swear…
