Abrazo

Another fantastic shawl, in "Silver Surfer" BooLace :D

Made by my friend, Sally... *GRiNs*

It is an <>Abrazo<> from the Twist Collective Spring/Summer edition

it used 36g of yarn and weighs 55g including the beads, so she can realistically get three of them out of one skein!!

How is that for good value???

Citron

This beautiful shawl is called "Citron" (from Knitty Winter 2009, designed by Hilary Smith Callis) and has been made by a very talented customer of mine, from Boolace, in the "Enormous Crocodile" colourway......

She used 75grams and the shawl measures 104cm along the top edge and 45cm deep. Look at the shine on it !!!

And it's just so awesomely green !!!

WooHoo !!!

nomNomNOM :)

As you can see, the BooLace, even though its only an 800m lace yarn, goes a long way!!!!

Thankyou for the pictures, Lesley, and for allowing me to show it off to Blogland :D

In search of the perfect red..

A "from scratch" Red (as opposed to a lazy pre~mixed red) is a difficult colour to nail. Nailing this perfect red has now become a little quest of mine...and here is my first~ish attempt, on BooLace.

I have called it "Rowan" which in Gaelic means "little redhead"...and I really thing it does look like red hair!!

How I'd imagine the Victorian Super Model, Elizabeth Siddal's hair to be...
