Sister Maggie's Red Sweater

Wearing my red $185 Irish sweater today, not an Aran fisherman sweater, as Sister Bede's mother knit for her entire family (that means 9 sweaters in different sizes!)No, my sweater is deep red, my favorite color, with a Irish cottage knit into the design, it's so pretty and I never wear it because it's so warm, but it is FREEZING here on Orcas Island, and I'm coming to Seattle tomorrow for a retreat with the other Sisters of the Holy Blog, and I hope it doesn't get any colder -- after all temperance is a virtue!Sister Maggie
