A new shawl.


I got a recent request for a large shawl. I like the color choice and size.
I think I'll have to make a few more of this size with different color groups.
I have the feeling that it would be warm to wear and it certainly looks dramatically beautiful. The color group is perfect for fall and into the winter. The only problem is heavy rain would not be good for the chenille.

Working bags!

So I had some cloth that was not being used and I finally decided to make some bags. These are really nice bags. I must admit that I got the idea from a bag made for me by a friend. The underlying support is some plastic based Cat Screen. The material is used to make window screens that cat's can not ruin. That is a strong support for a good bag. I used wool based material for the edges.
In these pictures you can see how well they ended up. They each have strong grips for carrying good heavy contents.

I may soon try using one for carrying grocery when I go shopping soon.
