Oriel made her debut on a beautiful winter day in the Wasatch Mountains. The sky was the color of cobalt blue and the snow was as white as it could be. Oriel knew how to show her stuff with a depth of character carrying her through all the demanding scenes of the photo shoot.

Thank you for your lovely comments yesterday. It was wonderful to hear that so many of you enjoy what happens here. We all know the time and effort that goes into making regular posts and the reward is having people stop by. You have made this a very enjoyable and rewarding past time. Hugs to you all!
I love that stole. Very airy and light looking. The colour is wonderful too

Beautiful! This has been one of my favorite WIPs of yours. The soft V's on the edges are so pretty and the lightness of the yarn shows through in all those photos. I'm really intrigued to try out the Douceur et Soie!

I can almost smell the crisp, cold post-snow air when I look at your pictures. Such a wonderful scarf. And happy belated Blogiversary!

WOW. Oriel is absolutely stunning. Can you tell me - is she knit in one piece, or in 2 pieces and grafted? I will definitely have to look into this pattern. (thanks for posting the source!)

Oh Margene, it's absolutely beautiful!!! Makes me want to dig out my lace scarf and keep at it. Almost. Hehehee.

I gasped when I saw your gorgeous shawl. I love everything about it including the name. I have some of that yummy yarn languishing in my stash. I might need to knit pattern with it :) You look mah-velous in her!

It's beautiful. And it must be so soft. How warm does it keep you?
Posted by: Lauren | March 02, 2005 at 07:54 AM
It's heartbreaking, how lovely that is. Is it warm, or just elegant and decorative?
Posted by: Beth S. | March 02, 2005 at 08:06 AM
Oh wow! I am totally floored with how lovely she is. I'm almost brave enough to try lace knitting....almost!
