I'd be happy to send it to you if you want to send me your email address :)<BR/><BR/>nancy k,<BR/>brrrrrr, you are one frugal lady! I am really enjoying the shawl - it's so cozy. We have two woodstoves and when hubby gets the living room stove roaring in the evening, I definately don't need the shawl :) <BR/>Socks are intimidating but don't be afraid - once you take the leap it's a piece of cake and you will absolute love it! <BR/><BR/>nita,<BR/>Thank you :) I'm glad you enjoyed reading about Freida.

In a way, even after Freida is gone, she'll still be there in the shawls and sweaters. Just such a great way to honor a great old gal.Pamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853793959909472712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-211012004316276379.post-89388669143323625862008-10-31T08:07:00.000-04:002008-10-31T08:07:00.000-04:00Fabulous shawls and I especially love knowing who ...Fabulous shawls and I especially love knowing who they came from.

I'm finishing up another one right now ~ just finished plying the yarn for the edging. I think shawls are probably my favorite thing to knit. Of course, I haven't tried socks yet. Maybe I'm scared.....?<BR/><BR/>;-)Nancy K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06061265740359266798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-211012004316276379.post-31295192978257414602008-10-30T22:37:00.000-04:002008-10-30T22:37:00.000-04:00I am glad I checked back too.

I was just thinking some of my new roving would be great for that, as I was struggling to size a hat for my hubby. I have some Sheltland Alpaca blends, and some a wonderful Kid mohair, cashmere, Shetland blend that would make a wonderful wrap or shawl.Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02306393089259457114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-211012004316276379.post-15663589385952323592008-10-30T20:56:00.000-04:002008-10-30T20:56:00.000-04:00Kara,Thank you - glad you enjoyed the photos :)Mi...Kara,<BR/>Thank you - glad you enjoyed the photos :)<BR/><BR/>Michelle,<BR/>My fault....I hit post too soon :(<BR/>The "stocking" is actually a pair of socks. The camera made them look rather large against that black mat. I love to knit socks as much as I like to make shawls. It was a "make it up as you go" pattern but I'd be happy to write it down and send to you :)Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14353371999780496358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-211012004316276379.post-25100271875999244892008-10-30T20:34:00.000-04:002008-10-30T20:34:00.000-04:00Either I commented too soon, or you hit post too s...Either I commented too soon, or you hit post too soon.

And if that is a stocking in the previous post (instead of a sock), is it a pattern you can share? I've never knitting socks, but have long thought it would be fun to knit Christmas stockings!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550786937196525098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-211012004316276379.post-9515364175815608052008-10-30T19:38:00.000-04:002008-10-30T19:38:00.000-04:00Beautiful.
