Here is a picture of the Laurel sweater on - I think it fits weel but is a bit more see-through than anticipated - worsted weight cotton and it will need a camisole of something underneath.
And - another FO - the Wing Shawl I knit as a sample for Carolina Homespu
n. The pattern is from Vivian Hoxbro and the yarn is Harrisville New England Highand. I used a size 7 needle. The pattern calls for fingering weight shetland but we wanted a larger shawl. Hard to see in the pictures, but it is shadow knit - both sides are the same colors but one has garnet ridges and yellow valleys and the other side has the colors reversed. Have to be careful that the back stripe hangs straight - very odd looking if it curves!While in Baltimore the weekend of September 9 we celebrated Anna's 21st birthday. Here she is, all grown up, with her boyfriend Ken Levin, and a couple of photos of her with Jim and me:
