Dear Edith, thank you for sharing your pictures. Your shawl is exquisite. Where did you learn how to do it? And what sort of yarn and needles did you use? I've long been interested in doing something like that, but wouldn't know where to start. Linda Walton, (in High Wycombe,

Edith, it's lovely. I had a couple of Shetland shawls when I was small, because my Mum had family up there, but I don't know what became of them. What kind of yarn did you use, and what size of needle? Do you knit from charts, or from written instructions (or both)? Margery.

With all due respect, I have to disagree, Francis, as not only is thread wound on a bobbin, but it has movement after that, whether in working stitches in bobbin lace, how people turn the bobbins as they work (even if a small amount, it accrues), and other dangling, etc. Though I am not an expert
