For our 20th anniversary, we took our family to a resort on the north coast. We stayed at a lovely place, and we had a unit for the 4 days, 3 nights. We visited many places with the kids. As a special treat for me, hubby dropped me off at Jenny Kings' shop, and took the kids away to the beach etc for 3-4 hours! I spent a lovely time looking all over the shop, knitting,chatting with Jenny, going through the bookshelves, knitting, chatting with anyone who came and sat at the table, and knitting.
I found a treasure among the shelves of fabulous fibres, A pure wool in rainbow colours, from Denmark. I knew I needed a crescent shape shawl and hoped it would come out as it did. A friend, Joy, from m spinners group lent me one of her lace books. I found the perfect pattern. I spent 3 days knitting it, a bit over an hour to crochet the edge. Then another few hours to wash and pin it out, to really show off the stitches, and to make sure the points were pointy. It has been, and still is, my favourite to wear
