I have been trying to think of a way to take a photo of the tri-shawl on the wall. This is the best I can do, and get most of the shawl in the photo. As you can see, I am almost done with this one. I enjoy working on these, but can only do a little at a time, due to standing so much! My daughter built the loom for me, and taught me a better way to weave. Yesterday, she took a friend and I to the alpaca farm near Fancy Gap, VA where she learned to use a tri-loom. I'm allergic to alpaca, but enjoyed looking at the animals and products from alpaca fiber. It was a nice day, but I get tired out so quickly! I hope to finish this shawl today. A funny thing is......I bought this yarn at a flea market years ago & saved it for "something special". When I got to the center of one of the balls of yarn, the folded up piece of paper it was wound on was a page from a desk calendar.......dated March 30, 1963. Good yarn doesn't go bad, I guess! I was in 8th grade in 1963.and knits and crochets and looms and quilts and is always busy serving my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Jesus said "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free" John 8:32
