I have many. But this is the latest.

I am mostly amazed that I could focus on a project this large. Those are long rows. I thought about the recipient as I worked on it - how we met, how our friendship grew and became so integral and important to my life, the fun we've had, how much she means to me, how special she is in the world. It is aptly displayed before the most beautiful little bronze sculpture (center top - although you can't see it's full loveliness) created by the recipient of this shawl. It is truly a multi-national result - pattern envisioned and designed by a woman in Argentina; named after a woman in Canada; yarn hand-dyed by a woman in Texas; knitted by a woman in New York; given to a beautiful woman in the Netherlands.

that is one beautiful shawl! and 2 cute pups!
Bravo! (Poor Lovey looks worried. Does she hates things pointed at her like Jackson does?)
Gorgeous!
The shawl is lovely and thanks for writing about it, I love that story! :) Your two little furries are adorable! I'm in love with all of our pets, especially the pooches!
Beautiful shawl, and what cute snapshots of those adorable furry friends.
Ooo, lovely shawl and such good colors!
Lovey is saying, "Mom! Do you mind? I'm trying to nap here."
PB is saying, "Whadda think? Does this sweater make my butt look big?"
(Sorry, I have to take my chuckles where I can get them.)
Thank you - it is incredibly light and soft, too.
Yes! I'm not sure what she thinks the camera is, but she is sure it's a bad thing.
Thank you, Toni!
I could (and do) stare at them for hours. They are so much fun and so loving.
High praise, coming from you! Thank you, Kristina. I don't often have my camera when they look adorable, so I'm glad to have a couple of pix to hold onto.
I love it when Lovey has 'mouse' ears! Her ears are very expressive. I had to take that lovely sweater (thank you, Auntie Theresa) off of him before he unraveled it.
Such a lovely shawl. Nice job and what an awesome sculpture. Of course the critters bring their own earthy perfection. Hugs all around and a biscuit or two for good measure.
Your essence has gone in to the shawl which your friend will feel each time she wears it. A special piece.
It's beautiful! Love the colours.
Love a good shawl and this one is great! I have a shawl on the needles for oh about um well never mind but it is a long term work in progress.
Nice photos of the puppy dogs. Aren't our "kids" great tonic to the soul?
I love love it and the model of course. It is truly international. Hug B
A beautiful work of love and patience. And the adorables are exactly that.
Susan,
Beautiful! Girl you do amazing work. Your friend in the Netherlands is going to love your hand made shawl.
I love Lovey's expressive ears! And your little one modeling his sweater. Please give your furbies a scratch behind their ears for me.
Sending hugs, and love.
Sandy
