It is so so encouraging to ready that you enjoy what I write. Sara I look forward to seeing a photograph of your shawl.<br /><br />Kristina - I agree Kidsilk Haze is very tangly - I thik you have to be very firm with it but also accept there will be some mistakes as some gets hidden by the fluffiness.<br /><br />x CCatherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06744601510746298605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8166947044810847519.post-41131399134740455512011-01-28T16:29:46.816+00:002011-01-28T16:29:46.816+00:00I love those shawls, just gorgeous.

And yes, I well remember matinee jackets, along with little booties and hats to match, it's what I was taught to knit first all those many years ago (once I got past the holey scarves!!) ;-)Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00456546112499189990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8166947044810847519.post-57031509298184635282011-01-27T12:02:55.524+00:002011-01-27T12:02:55.524+00:00What beautiful colours in the new shawl!

What a beautiful legacy to be gifted with. I certainly love your grown-up shawl as well, and obviously I would call it 'granny chic'.raining sheephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04330747311809604870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8166947044810847519.post-45742586436994408352011-01-26T01:19:28.435+00:002011-01-26T01:19:28.435+00:00That is beautiful, and the story of your MIL's...That is beautiful, and the story of your MIL's shawls are wonderful.

I also inherited my mother-in-law's knitting needles and knitting bag, it's lovely to see things continue over the generations. My eldest son (mow 27) had two lovely shawls knitted for him, I really wish I had kept them, living abroad meant parting with things I now regret.Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08155163837966758643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8166947044810847519.post-69574863099744488962011-01-25T21:18:33.150+00:002011-01-25T21:18:33.150+00:00I must photograph my shawl.

I finished it a couple of weeks ago, it's knitted in Jamieson & Smith 2ply laceweight in a natural grey. <br /><br />I hosted a non-knitting friend this week as she was having a bit of trouble at home. Shawls are meant for comfort and she grabbed it as soon as she was inside - however then she stretched it out with her feet! I sat there wincing inside even as I knew the shawl would be ok... she wants me to knit one for a friend of hers who is having a baby (I don't think I'll remind her of that)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8166947044810847519.post-6221636023709797192011-01-25T13:27:23.196+00:002011-01-25T13:27:23.196+00:00Oh they are all so beautiful--the traditional shaw...Oh they are all so beautiful--the traditional shawls and your own more modern take (and the story behind them).
