Today I brought home my very first Antique wheel. I have a feeling my beautiful Grace will not the last one I buy. Grace is a Great Wheel or Walking Wheel. She is actually a fairly big one with a 46 inch wheel. As you can see in this photo just the wheel dwarfs my big 30 inch Jensen Ashley. I can't wait to get a side by side photo of them both in working order.

Cast On Mania!

Ravelympics are behind us and now comes some total craziness. This month in the Village is Cast on Mania. We will try to cast on at least one project every single day of the month. Believe it or not it is harder then it sounds.

Smile I worked really hard for the Ravelympics and even earned some medals :) I am thrilled since during the last Ravelympics I did not manage to finish a single thing.

Wedding Shawl

Well as always I seem to have made a few changes to the pattern picked for the Wedding shawl for Sami. I was having problems with the Sampler Stole and when I saw the beautiful Papay shawl by Liz Lovick I fell in love.

I have finished the first set of patterns and started the second set. This shawl is supposed to be very large and judging from what I have done it will be a nice big beautiful shawl.
