I am playing with knitting opossum mittens, similar to the front cover hedgehog mittens on the book "Knitted Animal Scarves, Mitts, and Socks: 35 fun and fluffy creatures to knit and wear"<br />by Fiona Goble. I wanted more random texture than the pattern shows, and I like your swatch.BeckyGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12183965572407487018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8511967658875435355.post-39024724255252924252018-04-04T23:24:49.727-07:002018-04-04T23:24:49.727-07:00Recently our daughter has moved to Savannah, Georg...Recently our daughter has moved to Savannah, Georgia and joined the staff of Isle of Hope United Methodist Church. Several Sundays ago she wore her stole and everyone was immediately drawn to the beautiful colors and unique design. Chrissy pointed out various ties and who had donated them and the special part they had played in her life. Everyone loved it. Even though it has been eight years since she received it, she still values the thoughtfulness and careful work which you took in creating this special piece of art. We are so glad we found you and grateful for the talents God has given you.

Recently she wore this stole and when everyone saw it they were immediately drawn to the beautiful colors. Even though it has been 8 years, Chrissy explained that this tie belonged to her dad, an uncle, a mentor, a former boss and so on and so on. She remembered the importance each one had played in her life. Everyone loved it. So thankful we found you and grateful for the talents God has given you.<br />BarbaraAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04779044615854588551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8511967658875435355.post-85576662362579724992017-07-08T13:33:23.300-07:002017-07-08T13:33:23.300-07:00Simply lovely!Simply lovely!Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04472013513744969837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8511967658875435355.post-68213703344795184892017-06-17T15:08:23.372-07:002017-06-17T15:08:23.372-07:00This one will be lovely indeed!This one will be lovely indeed!Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04472013513744969837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8511967658875435355.post-21201822219163177512017-01-22T12:41:14.721-08:002017-01-22T12:41:14.721-08:00Thanks Margaret!
