Many of my blog readers liked seeing master knitter Giovanna’s recent work. She just sent me pics of two shawls she just finished and that are now blocked and ready to wear. Giovanna is one of my Camden, Maine, friends.
Giovanna is very generous with her work–so these two pieces will likely be gifts for lucky people.
This one below may be the piece I last sent to you–all blocked now.
I can’t even…
…imagine trying a knitting project like these.
I do ok with fairly plain knitting and have a whole drawer of wool socks I made, but I decided long ago that to get better I had to knit a lot and that that would limit my sewing time. Also, I left all the hats and scarves I made in Maine as they would be way too warm for South Carolina. I also left my really heavy coats.
So, I leave this knitting to Giovanna and admire from a distance.
She is awesome.

Does Giovanna share her pattern names?
Thanks for reading and commenting on my blog. In case you missed it, I posted the info you wanted today. Enjoy.
I posted Giovanna’s patterns and yarn information. Thanks for asking.
Those are absolutely stunning! Beautiful. Like you, I knit, but only quite simply and I also cannot imagine creating such beautiful shawls. I will stick with my simple knitted throws and shawls! Thank you for sharing – she has amazing knitting skills and talent.
Giovanna is an amazing knitter! I am working on my very first sock! Decided that it would help pass the time while I’m healing from my total knee replacement. It’s a little wonky but that’s ok! I find that working with double pointed needles in such small sizes is a lot of fun, kind of like wrestling an octopus but fun all the same. Jan in MA
Whew! Glad the knee operation is behind you. Hope the healing is going well.
