Mystic Roses knitted lace shawl


These pictures show a lace shawl project that I made. Anna Dalvi designs shawls and presents them as mystery shawls over 4 weeks. I must confess that it takes me quite a bit longer than 4 weeks to make them :). It's great fun and a good learning experience as we all share our progress. This one's made from Malabrigo Lace yarn in colour Garnet.
She has a new one starting today . Information is at http://knitandknag.blogspot.com/

Lynn's lovely quilts


Well aren't these two wallhangings wonderful?
My sister Lynn Ausburn designed and made these for her lovely historical house.
While she was making these she was also making a table runner which she entered into the challenge for her quilting group during the Cornish Festival. Good news, she won the challenge! well done Lynn :)
I'm glad someone in the family is making quilts. My body still won't let me sew. Frustrating but it's the way it is. I can knit as long as the yarn is thin and the needles light and skinny...I;'m thankful for that.
best wishes and happy stitching
Colleen
