Your has changed my mind.<br /><br />I have several pieces I love. I really love the socks I have made. Not sure why, but they make me feel cozy and warm. Even in Arizona I have cold feet in the winter. The other item is my Shalom cardigan. I love it. I love everything about it. I am sure people are tired of seeing me wear it, but I just love it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02126417959697476009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8163144501473367922.post-71398193644404835192012-02-22T18:46:10.174-08:002012-02-22T18:46:10.174-08:00A worthy favourite, to be sure!

And I have never heard of a sweater stone, but am grateful to learn as I have many sweaters that have pilled! I don't have a favorite knit yet, but I am really enjoying my first sweater, all stockinette too, so simple and soothing. I am still using straight needles, but I am told that knitting with circulars for everything is just wonderful and some people never go back to straights. I will have to consider that :).<br />xoMJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13238426502277628056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8163144501473367922.post-5932745593889492382012-02-21T07:51:17.387-08:002012-02-21T07:51:17.387-08:00sarah, we do have plans to return, and can hardly ...sarah, we do have plans to return, and can hardly wait to visit the south island (this time without the kids). we'd known we'd return since the moment we arrived the first time. there is no place on earth like new zealand. so lovely. and next time you come to california, i hope you'll come north. like n.z. there are vast differences between so.cal and the northern part of the state. thank you very much for the very kind words. xxxLori annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02860428306713379828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8163144501473367922.post-78056744557015289552012-02-21T07:48:54.891-08:002012-02-21T07:48:54.891-08:00This shawl has been on my "to do" list f...This shawl has been on my "to do" list forever. I want one exactly like yours. It's so pretty on you. I love the photo of you and your sweetie in the woods. I can see why this shawl is your favourite. <br /><br />Thank you so much for your lovely comments on my blog. I'm so happy you stopped by, because it gave me a chance to discover your sweet blog. I really love your style!<br /><br />You asked about patterns for my designs. I'm afraid I don't have much time to develop patterns for sale. Pattern writing is not my strong suit, I work from cryptic notes that would be tough for others to follow. However, my designs are SUPER easy to reproduce. Most of them are really basic, it's all about letting the luxurious yarn shine through. Let me know if there's a specific design you like and I can give you general directions on what I did.<br /><br />Hope you have a lovely week!nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18278895757317443494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8163144501473367922.post-79430215549718687112012-02-21T00:53:25.036-08:002012-02-21T00:53:25.036-08:00Hi Lori,

You made your shawl in New Zealand. I live in Nelson, top of the South Island though I am from Wellington, bottom of North Island! You really should come back and travel the South Island, it is very different to the North.<br />The only part of the USA I have visited is San Diego, California! This is a tiny world.

It is a perfect classic shawl isn't it lori, and a beautiful colour, and it looks wonderful on you. I love that you can use it as a scarf too, very elegant. Thank you for the inspiration Lori.
