I think I'm hooked!<br /><br />Are you Curious... Thank you for suggestion - I'm now wavering between a lacy snood and lacy fingerless mitts.<br /><br />Hi Veg Heaven - knitting with the beads didn't make it easier!!! all the beads need to be threaded onto the yarn before you start and the slid along without breaking the gossamer fine yarn!<br /><br />Thank you Bridget - I could wear it to a performance of A Midsummer Night's Dream :-)<br /><br />Hi Toffeeapple - well spotted! it was indeed the lovely Jean who was so helpful! The colour is like pine tree needles and has a subtle shading in it.<br /><br />Thank you for the link to more lovely patterns, Petoskystone. There isn't enough yarn left for a large shawl, but I'm sure Natalie is poised over the dye vats and will be putting more delicious colours in her shop very soon.<br /><br /><br />Celia<br />xCelia Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12776686088752602321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220897337333701839.post-87040139752159282012011-08-02T12:22:45.442+01:002011-08-02T12:22:45.442+01:00lovely! how about another shawl..like this one: ht...lovely! how about another shawl..like this one: http://ysolda.com/patterns/<br />'ishbel' is in the fourth row down.petoskystonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01633621111274495078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220897337333701839.post-61072738449057972872011-08-02T12:18:25.517+01:002011-08-02T12:18:25.517+01:00That's lovely Celia, though it looks blue on m...That's lovely Celia, though it looks blue on my screen.
