Did you all see this lovely Shetland Piece this morning. It is from one of Elizabeth Lovick's books...There are two books with almost the exact title...one is The Magic of Shetland Lace Knitting and the other is "Magical Shetland Lace Knitting" This Christening gown is from the "Magical"...title...unfortunatley not the one I own. Just thought you might want to take a look. I might look to see if my library has this second book.
My word what a huge improvement. Great hat :sm24:run4fittness said:Here is one of my current WIPs. It is one of those mindless ones.
Yes, I dyed the yarn. It was an awful mustardy color. The yarn is Araucania, 100% merino wool, 139 yards. I will use most of it for the hat. I always leave a bit to send with the hat just in case there is a need to repairs.
Oh yes, I did the Kool Aid dyeing. I used two grapes and one cherry. Set it out in the sun for about an hour and ended up with this lovely combination.
Very pretty. Do get better soon. Fuzzy heads are no fun :sm25:Lurker 2 said:The current WIP- Waiting for Rain with the left overs from the Oatmeal Gansey- it will be nice and warm. I am afraid I am still working from the written instructions. I have come down with a heavy head cold - brain not functioning properly.
That is beautiful. I love the colour :sm24:annweb said:Super Julie.I fancy that pattern.Shake the cold off.

Brilliant!Babalou said:How about some turtles today? These were taken in the tide pool just outside our condo. Kathleen, my friend, is the person in the pictures. In the first picture, you can see the turtle's back. We were really rooting for the turtle to get on the rock. Such a challenge for them. The last picture is of black spiny sea urchins. You really don't want to step on them.

:sm24:Lurker 2 said:Yes! And she is really enthusiastic about it- says the fit is spot on- not too small, not too big, and loves the feminine touch of the cabled cuffs.
