And you say my shawls are pretty! They're just knitted things - I sure wish I could make baskets like these - they are absolutely stunning! :-)
ReplyDeleteEllen, I didn't see your comment until today!
DeleteYes, aren't they stunning? I wish they were mine, but they are the works of our coming teacher, Danish Anne Mette Hjornholm - who I will visit when I am in Denmark in May this year.
And yes, your shawls are very, very pretty and they take many, many hours to knit. You don't make them in a day or two.
Lene,
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy that I was able to get into Anne's willow classes at your farm this summer. I missed it last year, so was quick on the draw this year.
Looking forward to meeting my old cyber friend and fellow blogger in person.
LOVE your new website, you did a great job, more power to you! Happy Weaving!
