Re: [lace] Shawl finished
Hi The shawl is beautiful, even more beautiful when you see it in 'the flesh' so to speak She has made a very good job of it. Agnes brought it to my house on Thursday evening to show everyone it before she gives it to her daughter for Christmas.

Re: [lace] Shawl finished
I made myself a very large roller pillow to work large scale patterns on. I used a roll of the insulating stuff for putting underneath wallpaper, it's like a thin sheet of styrofoam. I think it was called Warmaline or something like that. It came from a DIY store. That was the roller and for the rest of the pillow I used three slabs of polystyrene glued together and hacked about with a carving knife. A job best done outside as the bits get everywhere!After that it was just a case of manipulating the cover fabric to fit. I have made several scarves, a sweater in strips and currently have a table runner on it and the roller is holding up well.

Lovely shawl and the colours are gorgeous. Brenda Scroll down the page until you get to the second one from the bottom on the left-hand side. It has a photo of a butterfly, the name Agnes Boddington above that photo and new in a red circle at the bottom left of that photo. Click on the photo of the butterfly and you will see all thumbnails of the photos Agnes has in her album - the shawl photos are the last three in the album.
