Thanks, Jean, for the instructions (for us Luddites).  Agnes, the shawl is as 
beautiful as everyone has been raving!  You said you used lace weight yarn, but 
what brand?

[lace] lace shawl

2011-12-16 Thread Dona Bushong
I was just able to get to webshots to see your shawl, Agnes.  Beautiful!  I
love the colors.  And your work is wonderful.  What a lucky daughter!
I too like peacocks and several months ago finished a knitted lace peacock
feathers shawl.  I'll have to see if I can get around to getting a photo and
post it.
Thanks for sharing your work.

I had the same experience that Helen Bell did the first time I tried to look
at Agnes' lace.  Is it possible that the webshots site might be infected.?

Ok...Agnes, where do you find pillows large enough to do a piece so big? I
would love to try to convert a "yardage" pricking to a large version made
with lace weight wool...(or maybe #10 crochet thread?) I could think of a
number of patterns that would make gorgeous shawls LOL

What a beautiful shawl Agnes. It is amazing how exciting torchon can be when

itis enlarged and made with colours and texture.
Have a happy and restful Christmas. You deserve it.

Subject: [lace] Shawl finished

Last night I finished a Torchon shawl for my daughter for Christmas. When I
started it 2 moths ago, I was not sure whether it would be for Christmas
2011 or 2012, but I did it, and am quite pleased with the result.
The material was a mixture of alpaca wool, silk and rayon in lace weight.
Not the easiest to work with at it is very slippy and I used standard
English bobbins with spangles.

Your shawl is beautiful.  You chose really good colors for it, too.  What I
love even more is the Bedfordshire corner that is just before it in your
album.  That piece is marvelous.

Another tip - at the top of the Album page, under "my albums (80)"you 
will see a box next to the words "sort by"  - it will probably be set to 
"owner selected". If you click on the down arrow, you can change the 
order the individual  albums appear in by selecting "newest first" - 
this will then bring Agnes' album to the top of the page. Click on the 
butterfly.

Scroll down the page until you get to the second one from the bottom on

It has a photo of a butterfly, the name Agnes Boddington above that 
photo and "new" in a red circle at the bottom left of that photo.

Hi again,
I FOUND IT  Went back to the website and clicked on NEWEST FIRST. Up came
Agnes’s name with a beautiful beds butterfly showing. Clicked on that and a
set of photographs came up amongst them the lovely shawl. What a wonderful
gift for your daughter.
Happy lace making,

The photo will be enlarged and there are slide show arrows under thumbnails

Dear Janet,

Thank you very much for the very pretty lace in a ring.  This is practical as
as pretty it can be used for ever more as a Christmas tree decoration. I will
treasure it.

Happy Christmas,
