Barb and Marias Prayer Shawl

Sorry it took me a while to post these Barb!

As many of you know Barb has a dear friend who has been diagnosed with cancer. And Barb despite her own pain her hands are giving her managed to make her friend Maria a BEAUTIFUL Prayer Shawl. Here are the results!

Two months and 325 rows later!

A couple of bottles of wine and some Dark Chocolate!

This is what you get! The pictures don't really do it justice I have seen it and the colors are amazing. Barb said despite the open weave it is very soft and warm. And my understanding is it is already in Marias hands and she was in tears.

Paris Socks and yummies

Here is Lady Eleanore in Paris and me at that Tower thing :-)

Now that I am back time to finish some outstanding projects.

So the cabled socks first. The are almost finished.

I picked up this wool in Paris. It is a Turkish wool.

From Paris as well this brand is made in Barcelona. I am going to make a pair of socks.

I actually got this in Ireland it is the softest Acrylic I have ever felt. I have 4 large skeins of it I'm not sure what I am going to do with it but its beautiful.

This was the only French wool that I saw that I really cared for. It's nice I'm just going to do some skinny dressy scarf.

Lady Eleanor is finished!

Take a good look tomorrow she is going over the pond to Paul's Mum!
