Here is a lovely cake of Handmaiden’s SeaSilk
,
that Denny so kindly wrapped and wound up for me during my last visit to Toronto’s LK.

I started knitting the Montego Bay Scarf

I somehow managed to mangle a yarn cake into a pile of noodles…

I am just getting around to posting these photos of this interesting exhibit…

I had the opportunity to see the Hyperbolic Crochet Reef Exhibit in London during a visit to London this summer.


This one amused me…can you guess what the white pods are?

This beautiful tapestry, created by Jill Hutchinson, hangs in the Children’s Chapel at the Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ the King in Liverpool . It incorporates a clever use of many differing materials which was a labour of love made over a period of seven years.
