Shawls, beautiful shawls

About a year ago, while at the New Hampshire Spinners and Dyers Association meeting, Linda came up with the idea that we all make the same shawl, and wear it this year to their Fashion Show in the Spring.  Sue and Linda came up with a pattern and distributed it to those interested. Turned out that six of the spinners from Sugar River Spinners accepted the challenge: each one made the shawl from their own homespun yarn, some from fleece from their own sheep.  Then they knitted it.  The variations in the shawls are most interesting, just derived from different spinning techniques and thicknesses, different fibers, and different needle sizes.

And as these things go, other things came up and they didn’t get to the fashion show after all, so it’s a good thing they modelled them at the meeting at Candy’s house in March.
