I imagine things do get more difficult as time goes by and one simply has to face whatever the facts may be. I try to live in blissful ignorance myself, but then reality tends to slap you in the face, if you do that too much:). So sorry to hear about the shawl! UGH moths! Hope it is fixable! Thank you for continuing to blog as you do. I am nowhere near as faithful with mine.FuguesStateKnitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14271842690827237203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-61449903349674803782019-09-25T08:33:17.081+01:002019-09-25T08:33:17.081+01:00Depending on where the actual moth holes are on th...Depending on where the actual moth holes are on the pullover, it may be simpler to take out a section and reknit it.

Then you can spend your time on the shawl.

Just back from a fairly challenging (for this 70-yr-old) Orkney & Shetland hiking trip. I took a day off hiking to hang around in Lerwick - missed Ella at J&S but was lucky enough to spot Hazel Tindall and Elizabeth Johnston lunching together in the museum cafe and to have an admiring word with them. My first time in Shetland since the mid-70s, when I wasn't a knitter. J&S, thanks to my enthusiasm, had business from 3 others in our small hiking group - not necessarily a keen knitting crowd. So interesting to be there at this crucial political time with its pressing constitutional questions. Please don't fade away, Jean, your blog is such a good hub for the exchange of much interesting and useful information.<br />Beth in OntarioBethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16568215693665518362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-10809590898407230842019-09-24T22:45:10.055+01:002019-09-24T22:45:10.055+01:00Ah, Fair Isle charts - I have a memory of Mum borr...<br />Ah, Fair Isle charts - I have a memory of Mum borrowing my coloured pencils and making a simple chart for a Fair Isle band around my new best cardi. But lace knitting was not even on the radar then in the early fifties. If a shawl was lacy, it would have been "crocherwork" or machine made.<br /> <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />jeanfromcornwallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10062674591619616456noreply@blogger.com
