Well I finally finished my shawl I was working on. It was knitted with 3 different brands of yarn....Berrocco, Bernat and Katia Ribbon. I love the weight of it which is a little heavy and will keep me nice and warm down here this coming winter. I hate wearing coats and I find shawls are a great addition to my wardrobe. It's most knitted but the ruffle at the bottom is crocheted. I made a shawl like this for a friend's mother and I loved how it turned out so I thought I'd finish this one that way.
Then when I had my crochet hooks out, I thought I'd make some washcloths to sell in my store. This set was made using a cotton/acrylic yarn that has been recycled so you might want to say these are "green". There are three washcloths that finished out about 8 inches square and a round scrubby which I love to use to remove makeup. They are all tied up with a red and white ribbon with my "Blessings". You will find this set for sale in my store.
I came across some unusual jars the other day and I'm working on coming up with something involving them. They are a great size for holding pins and such and would look beautiful sitting on your sewing table. I hope to have these finished sometime next week so stay tuned for that.
I hope everyone has a blessed weekend with absolutely nothing to do but stitch....
Blessings as always,
Barbara

PRETTY shawl, funny how just the shoulders can get a chill, can picture you all snuggled up this winter:) Beautiful dishcloths too!
Your shawl is so pretty, and I really love your beautiful crocheted washcloths too. I have been using them ever since my mother first discovered them. I have a few that are just almost too pretty to use!
