Oh thank you for this ... for years I relied on counted stitches to make perfectly formed letters. These days I embrace the variations in size and shape, each letter unique and ever so much more fun.
There's a wonderful lesson in that . . . one that I'm striving to apply to a number of things. Telling myself that everything doesn't need to be in precise alignment.
Thanks Grace ... I can't help looking at it when we are at the table eating. And it just hit me (belatedly) that the cloth is as long as I am tall. Considering that it's a literal representation of rainfall, that gives new meaning to "under water."
