Jimmie the blogger, like me, is a retired teacher. Unlike me, he knits, for I may be a nitwit, but I am not a knitter.
One day, he noticed that Sue can be a bit of a flamboyant dresser in her capes, scarves and so on. So, he emailed to tell me that he had decided to send his current project to Sue.
Wishing it to be a complete surprise, I didn't tell her about it. And lo, in the fullness of time, it didst come to our mailbox, and, behold, it was a complete surprise. What a delight!
It took about a week for us to get around to taking some pictures, and then they had to be done right away when the mood strucketh m'lady. So, I did the best I could by catching the fading light by the bedroom window.
Sue posted about it here, and this is where you can find Jimmie.
The shawl is gorgeous but Sue is lovelier still.

ReplyDeletewow!! For both model and shawl.
Glad you are enjoying the shawl, Sue. It is a compliment to my work to see it on such a lovely lady.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I forgot to mention that it is totally washable, in cool water, and I would recommend laying flat to dry, however, it can be dried in dryer on low setting.
Have a great Sunday.

A lovely gift and modeled so well by the recipient and kudos to its maker for the workmanship and generosity of a surprise gift.
ReplyDeleteJE does do lovely work and it looks beautiful on Sue. I will say if you do wash and dry in your machines that you wash & dry by itself to avoid "fuzz" from other clothes.
ReplyDeleteWell he did a Gorgeous job of it and Sue is lovely!
