As you can see, making good headway on my latest shawl. However, in the picture it looks like shades of blue, when in fact it's shades of gray and even when I tried to edit the picture, couldn't get the color right. Why does that happen? As I look back at the previous post where this was barely started, it also looked more blue than gray. I've not had to rip out and start over as I did when I made the pink-green one, so am pleased it's going much quicker. I really love the shape of the shawl and plan to make several more, so stay tuned. Just about half way in this picture, though took it two days ago, so am further along.
What to keep and what to part with? This clock is not in working order, and I don't know how costly it would be to fix it. I also don't know how long it's been since it did work. I wonder if anyone in the family knows. We're getting down to the wire for a tag sale at my Dad's place. On one hand I feel like we should keep things, but then our already over full house would end up like my Dad's....too full of stuff to get rid of. This clock apparently belonged to my Great Grandmother and Great Grandfather. I think perhaps it was a wedding present; but ...maybe it will bring a good price at the tag sale? It's something my folks have had for a long time, but I don't think they got it from Granny, I think one of her daughters had it for years, then my folks. I don't know for certain. But, you just can't keep everything, or all you would be doing is moving stuff from one house to another, compounding the quantity of stuff.
How does one take a picture without getting a reflection when glass is involved? You saw this family doily in the previous post, but now I have if framed in a shadow box. I hope my older brother likes it. Think it will look nice on his mantel. This might have been made by Granny (owner of above clock?), or one of her daughters, Great Aunt Irene who I know did some other stitch work. Sure wish we knew whom.
