Oh, Jenny. How lousy a time you are having. I¡¯m so sorry.

Jenny,
I¡¯m sorry to hear about your parents. Yes, it is very difficult to deal

Re: Swedish Heartwarmer Shawl - finally!
Kinda related but not - Anyone have a look at Cat Bordhi's last collection?

Re: Swedish Heartwarmer Shawl - finally!
Gigantic is good for wrapping up in. And I think historically the shawl corners were passed around the front of the body, then back around and then tied behind to get a cross-over type protection for

Re: Swedish Heartwarmer Shawl - finally!
Anmiryam, I¡¯d also love to hear how the island is this year. When do you
