Hello!
Obviously this is much later than "tomorrow."
We just returned from a great vacation in Northern Wisconsin and Upper Michigan. We spent September 24 at the Manitowish Waters, Wisconsin Cranberry Festival. This is a really great little festival which includes bus trips to a cranberry marsh, arts and crafts vendors, a cranberry recipe contest and a taste of local restaurants. It was a great day.

Easy cranberry sauce recipe:
1/2 cup water
1 cup sugar
Bring to a boil.
Add one pound of cranberries. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the berries "pop."
They will jell as they cool.

Enough off topic, back to Faroese Shawls.
If you have completed all the math for making the shawl as indicated on Worksheet #1, you are ready for Worksheet #2. Simply plug in your calculations from Worksheet #1 and you will have your pattern.
Next I will make some comments on Lace Knitting.

Hello World!

Hello!
Once upon a time I had a website on AOL.
One day AOL said, "Goodbye," so the information was tucked away in the depths of my hard drive.
Recently I decided to once again share with the world.

I especially love knitting, spinning, weaving, off-loom bead weaving and paper arts.
Oh yes, add quilting.
That's a lot of fiber in a lot of forms.
The beads only qualify due to the fiber that holds them together!

The first posts will be the material from my former website.....
     How to design your own Faroese Shawl
     Notes on lace knitting.
Then we will be on to new ideas and information.

I look forward to visiting with you.
