Well, the electricity has been restored and my son has given me instructions for transferring photos from my phone, so herewith a picture of
Jane Eborall and I, taken in Stratford-upon-Avon, as promised.
Another tatting highlight of my trip was the arrival of this book:
It would never have occurred to me to look for this book, but my sister-in-law noted how my face lit up when an image of it appeared on her computer screen, and then went to a lot of effort to get it for me. The book is second hand but in mint condition. I'm really looking forward to tatting the spinning wheel mat and other patterns that I have admired on tatters' blogs. Lucky, aren't I?
at least twice lucky, I'd say!!
ReplyDeleteJane E is SUCH a love, and great fun to hang out with. She told me she had a good time with you!
ReplyDeleteYou both look sweet with the little bits of tatting hanging everywhere around you!!
ReplyDeleteThat book is a must have, Lucky lady!
A hardcover copy! - what a special gift to receive. You've had an exciting holiday - I seem to remember blog posts detailing the knitting of that lovely cardigan you're wearing, am I imagining that? - I couldn't find any references to it, - is it a commercial pattern? - I love it.
ReplyDeleteThank you. That's my favourite cardigan, many, many years old!! I spun the yarn, one thread wool and one thread mohair plyed together. The pattern is a commercial one, Autumn Leaves from The Country Diary Book of Knitting by Annette Mitchell.
DeleteThank you Jane! - I was sure you had blogged about it! There seem to be lots of second hand copies of the book still around, I will certainly track it down when we return from our trip.You're a very good knitwear model!
DeleteWhat a wonderful holiday you have had and to meet Jane as well! I have used this book before, they have it in our local library, the patterns in it are very good.
ReplyDeleteYou are going to love that book!! :) I love mine!! :)
