Lots of cool stuff in there. I love the bunny cookie cutters!Now off to finish my mystery shawl and wind the catalina yarn for the next LLS - speaking of which The Yarn Tree, where I bought this yarn is having a sale starting this weekend - I am going to go back and buy more so I can make the larger size this time. I think I will head over there on Sunday morning, before heading over to Grand Central Station - I have a 2 day business meeting at the Stamford Marriott and I decided to take the train so I could knit lace on the trip there. Anybody know a good yarn shop in Stamford?

Hey Colette - I love the LLS - it is stunning! And I really dig the black edges. Hmmm, I might have to consider this one to make for myself.
The shawl is really beautiful - great job! Such lovely yarn packages too. :)
YiPpEE ... what a pretty shawl!! The border is a grand addition. It is wonderful ... N~joy!
That black edging is dramatic, a very nice finishing touch.
Colette - the LLS is just out of this world...and running out of yarn was seredipitous, I'd say - the black edging is wonderful! Congrats on the wins - gee that's red, too, another item for the Knit Red KAL?? hmmmm?
(((hugs)))
LLS is beautiful, love the colors!
Hi Colette, I love the Leaf Lace Shawl. I have been considering one for myself. What a neat solution, the black border really picks up the colors of the shawl and makes more impact on the points. Perfect.
Oh very nice LLS! And your lovely parcels! What a lucky knitter you are! Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!
Gotta get a me too in here. That black edge is great! It really adds to the shawl. Looks like you planned it that way.
I forsee other people doing this now - you may have started a trend.
I love the red leaf shawl, very creative "save" there, or as the commentator at the Black Sheep Gathering fashion show kept reminding us "design feature".
Beautiful. I love the color and the black border is wonderful!
That shawl is beautiful. I think you were meant to run out of yarn just so you could edge it in black. It really pulls it all together.
Well wishes to you and your family.
:)
Your shawl is great! I love the leaf pattern.
You'll have fun designing your own shawl. Designing can be addictive.
I dont think I have enough patince for soethinglike that...you rock!
wow, fantastic projects! You are very talented!!
Thank you for the birthday wishes:) That shawl is gorgeous!! I love the black edging!
What a gorgeous shawl! Thanks for suggesting I come over and take a look.... now I know what to do with all my verigated yarns you saw! :)
We work like a horse.
We eat like a pig.
We like to play chicken.
You can get someone's goat.
We can be as slippery as a snake.
We get dog tired.
We can be as quiet as a mouse.
We can be as quick as a cat.
Some of us are as strong as an ox.
People try to buffalo others.
Some are as ugly as a toad.
We can be as gentle as a lamb.
Sometimes we are as happy as a lark.
Some of us drink like a fish.
We can be as proud as a peacock.
A few of us are as hairy as a gorilla.
You can get a frog in your throat.
We can be a lone wolf.
But I'm having a whale of a time!
You have a riveting web log
and undoubtedly must have
atypical & quiescent potential
for your intended readership.
May I suggest that you do
everything in your power to
honor your encyclopedic/omniscient
Designer/Architect as well
as your revering audience.
As soon as we acknowledge
this Supreme Designer/Architect,
Who has erected the beauteous
fabric of the universe, our minds
must necessarily be ravished with
wonder at this infinate goodness,
wisdom and power.
Please remember to never
restrict anyone's opportunities
for ascertaining uninterrupted
existence for their quintessence.
There is a time for everything,
a season for every activity
under heaven. A time to be
born and a time to die. A
time to plant and a time to
harvest. A time to kill and
a time to heal. A time to
tear down and a time to
rebuild. A time to cry and
a time to laugh. A time to
grieve and a time to dance.
A time to scatter stones
and a time to gather stones.
A time to embrace and a
time to turn away. A time to
search and a time to lose.
A time to keep and a time to
throw away. A time to tear
and a time to mend. A time
to be quiet and a time to
speak up. A time to love
and a time to hate. A time
for war and a time for peace.
Best wishes for continued ascendancy,
Dr. Howdy
P.S. One thing of which I am sure is
that the common culture of my youth
is gone for good. It was hollowed out
by the rise of ethnic "identity politics,"
then splintered beyond hope of repair
by the emergence of the web-based
technologies that so maximized and
facilitated cultural choice as to make
the broad-based offerings of the old
mass media look bland and unchallenging
by comparison."
