how about some love?

When I wasn’t busy picking fights with Republicans this weekend, I was busy finishing up my Shetland Triangle shawl.

If we move from this house, I’m taking my dining room swing door with me.  It models lace shawls like nobody’s business!

I am all about those points.

    I love the Shetland Triangle, and I think this is one of the prettiest ones I have seen.

    Oh, I have a shetland triangle on the needles. It hasn’t seen the light of day in a long time….I should pull it out of hibernation.

    Yours is lovely!!

    OMG. I started this shawl yesterday and you won’t believe the color yarn I’m using. Stay tuned! Your shawl is so pretty and you’re right about that door!

    Wonderful! The colors are stunning.

    You’ve inspired me – I’m going to start ripping out Lady E, in preparation for starting over!

    Your knitting is absolutely gorgeous. Your photography is just as beautiful from someone who enjoys photography as well.

    Oh, it’s beautiful! I totally love the yarn you used. And great idea using the door – I also have a dining room door I could use, although it’s very old and I don’t know what kind of condition the top edge is in. I -have- cleaned it before. Uhhh, just not recently.

    Hmmm… why haven’t I thought of modeling on a swing door before?? This shawl is absolutely stunning!

    It is absolutely beautiful! Those deep rich colors look fantastic against the stark whiteness of the door. Aren’t you smart for figuring out how to use that as a photo prop?!?

    I’m not sure there’s anything you’ve knit that I haven’t loved, loved, loved. That shawl is just beautiful! As usual.
