I don’t knit.  My daughter Deb does knit and so I accompany her to interesting knitting events,  like… NY Sheep & Wool Festival and The New Jersey Yarn Crawl.

On January 14th we went to NYC to the second Vogue Knitting Live’ at the Hilton.

This teeny Vineyard book is 1 inch square.  Untie the ribbon and it opens like an accordion.

There is a verse on one side…

101_5339
“The landscape of Martha’s Vineyard invites us daily to pause, to breathe and give our awareness to the splendor of our surroundings.  The soul of the land and the sea speaks in a silent language to our own souls, calling forth a feeling of connectedness and well-being, belonging and responsiveness.  We come to our senses and discover ourselves again in the grace, elegance and natural beauty of the island… Even if your visit here is brief , the Vineyard welcomes you home.”  -I.G.M.

And pictures on the other.

I’ve added in some of my own that sort of resemble the ones in the book.  I didn’t have any pictures of grazing cows so I substituted a goat friend of mine.
