Avital I was able to enlarge the photos a little and photo P05832 is fascinating - a detail of a knitted lace shawl. It looks so much like cobwebs - just as if you took your hand and scooped up a large cobweb. It is so fine. The work is unbelievable to me. Thanks for the photo opt. Pam Take a moment and view the photos. http://photos.shetland-museum.org.uk/ShetlandMuseum/controller This is the photo and info I am referring to: Photo Number:P05832Short Title:nullPhotographer:Jack PetersonDate of Photo:1952Parish:DunrossnessDescription:Fine lace christening shawl, said to have been made by Betty Mouat, Scatness, c. 1850.
