Grey Heron bits

My friend Donna brought in her stunning Noro Swirl jacket to show off in the wool shop. She thought maybe it would inspire a few knitters to make one. The cafe knitters of yesterday were gaga over this jacket. I've ordered books and getting ready for the yarn order as we have a few serious "Swirlers" in the crowd...

Every Easter since moving home from Denmark I lament about the fact that I won't make my annual trip to Illum's candy department for my Faberge Easter eggs. As you read in an earlier post, my wish came true!! I have made this lovely little Silk ruffle scarf in Noro for Akiko as a thank you for sending me my Easter treats!! Notice the green glass display head- My friend Janet gave me four glass "hat heads" as I call them. They were Jan's Mother-in-law, Vi's. Vi passed away this week at 94. She had a marvelous collection of hats. She was a hat girl!!... Her front closet had a top shelf of hat heads dressed with HATS!! I will treasure these glass hat heads. Thanks Jan, for such a lovely thoughtful gift.
