Summertide shawl

This is the Summertide shawl, a pattern by Helen Stewart.  It was a breeze to knit, relaxing and enjoyable.  I used Faro, a wool singles lace-weight yarn that I picked up recently at the Woolery in the Frankfurt, KY.  The 100% wool content of this yarn makes for a crisp final product with great stitch definition.  I would certainly use this yarn again.  Looking forward to wearing the shawl often this spring and summer!

The Art of Spinning Wheel Maintenance



I'm fortunate to have a guy who's willing and able to tinker with new spinning wheels I acquire. This one was given to me recently by his mother.  With a little love, it should be up and spinning.  Until then, it sits looking pretty in my studio.
