As you can see, I've continued to be an absentee in my own blog. However, I have joined Twitter - http://twitter.com/KnittingGuru - where the minuscule number of words seems within daily reach for me. I hope you'll follow me there. Readers: I promise to do better and I'll start by showing you some of my new knitting and crochet. I've been in a Romantic Victorian Period. My shawls, capelets, and cowls have a definite retro look going back more than a century. I look backward for inspiration, but my yarns decidedly update the look. The three garments shown here are all examples of my knit and crochet combination technique. I love to knit the main part of a garment and finish with crochet. The crochet always seems to add a more sculptural quality. All of these are made with the softest possible wool yarns, some with alpaca blended in.
