Persephone's Folly

When Persephone ate those three pomegranate seeds, she broke her mother Demeter's heart. Hades tricked her into eating food from the underworld, forcing Persephone to return to the underworld for 3 months each year. Every time she does, Demeter grieves and stops blessing the world with warmth and abundance by plunging the world into a bitter cold (Winter) as she despairs. So what does this have to do with crafting you might be wondering? Well over the weekend I finished my fingerless gloves!


With these beauties, I'll survive the coldest office or dreariest of Winters!

The details:

• The Yarn: An exclusive colorway from Scout's Swag in the first round of the Indie Swag Club called.... POMEGRANATE!
• The Pattern: Rock Opera by Lisa Shobhana.

Now to wash, block and then use them so much I'll need to make another pair!
