Beautiful knitted christening shawl..........a real work of art was knitted in my Dorset Down 4 ply type knitting wool by Sarah D an amazing knitter and owner of the blog linked on this blog....the 21st Centuary housewifes unbought blog!
This is a commission knit..........so if anyone else wants an heirloom, get in touch!
This wool is being used by a lot of people now and I have it on cones for weaving and knitting machines too!

Beautiful Val! I am awed. It is stunning!
I don't have any need for one---but will keep you in mind in (hopefully) not less than 4 or 5 years anyway. I don't want to be a grandmom to soon!
