I took some of my shawls to the yarn store yesterday and had a student take pictures. First, the mink/cashmere Faroese shawl - cuddly and warm! The pin is from a vendor at Knitting Camp called Dutch Treats.
Now for something a little different...
I bought a spinning wheel. Yes, another one even though I really haven't mastered it yet. I couldn't resist a bird's eye maple Tina II from Jensen.

She is decked out with a walnut trim.

And a little walnut between the treadles
She's beautiful!
The heart of it all. There is a little more walnut on the maiden.
And a look at my pitiful attempts at spinning yesterday. But I will get better and Tina will help me.
On the knitting front, I started the last of the wrist brace liners on Friday. So there is nothing interesting to report. I hope to finish them this week and get on to more interesting stuff. And I don't have to worry about wrist brace liners for another 3-4 years.

Approval of the photos, your student did a nice job.
I know that technically the Dund shawl is the more stunning, but I crave the snuggliness of your Faroese shawl.
B-E-A-utiful wheel. Congratulations, you earned her.
wow wow wow! all three are gorgeous!
that monk looks so cuddly!
your tina is lovely :-)
Tina and the shawls are beautiful -- pictures worth waiting for! Happy Spring!
The shawls are beautiful, but I now have wheel lust. That is one gorgeous wheel!
Lovely, the shawls are. Tina as well, of course!
Lovely shawls! Enjoy your wheel - I've had a birds eye maple Jensen for many years, and love it!
Wow. What great projects. I am in love with the shawl.
Wow those shawls are lovely and the shawl pin is perfect! What a gorgeous wheel. I'm sure that you are going to love this beauty and spin plenty of great yarn with your new wheel, the details are just beautiful.
