Hey all,The other night, I went to the Minnesota's Knitter's Guild Meeting. It was "share-a-shawl" night so that promised to be fun. Now this was my first meeting, so I was a little intimidated about sharing my work with a posse of experts, but I thought it would be fun to see the amazing work that "real" knitters create and get some ideas on how I can expand my own repertoire. And I certainly did!
There were some of the most amazing shawls I have ever seen there. The work
was so intricate and detailed. I loved the beading work on this shawl,and the idea of using a table cloth pattern for this one was
really creative.Ellen also made a couple of really lovely shawls, but I neglected to get a photo of those. Perhaps she would be kind enough to send those to me?
Also, a couple of ladies asked where I got the curly mohair yarn I am using for the latest shawl I am working on. The yarn is called "Avocado Twist" by Mohair Magic Originals. They don't have a website, so the above link takes you their ad from Shepherd's Harvest.

It was wonderful to see you again! Your shawl was fabulous - cozy, cozy, cozy.
You know, I don't think I have photos of the two shawls I brought. I finished them before I started blogging and Raveling, so I'll have to get shots sometime soon and will share them then.
The picture of Kathy is adorable - the one of me - funny!
And you are so totally a "real" knitter. Folks, Eryka designed the shawl she brought - talk about real knitting!
