Spiderweb Shawl (by alaric)
A friend of my mother's (who I have never met), upon hearing my mother was going to become a grandmother, decided to make the baby a rather special spiderweb shawl.
Make no mistake, this is a massive undertaking - something between knitting and lacemaking, as far as I can tell. It certainly looks ornate.
Anyway, since we now have unpacked the camera and the photo printer, and got hold of more photo printer paper, we were waiting for a nice day to take a good picture to send to the maker of the shawl, showing it in action, as a thankyou. And today that weather came, so here's the picture:
Here's a close-up:
Just imagine how long it must have taken to carefully make that delicate thing. Yes, I know, Jean took 9 months - I was talking about the shawl 🙂
