Look what I found in my kiosk mailbox the other day–an unexpected gift from my Maine friend Giovanna McCarthy.
Giovanna and I have been friends for almost 20 years now, and she has given me so many of her beautiful shawls and here and there, a blanket. I treasure each and every one of her beautiful works gifted to me.
Giovanna is a master knitter, and her work over the years has gotten better and better so that now it is…unbelievable.
Look at the fringe on this shawl. I can’t even…
I learned to knit way back in high school in the 1960s, taught by a high school friend. And I’ve made many knitted projects over the years, especially the Maine years. I’ve made sweaters, scarves, socks, hats, blankets, decorative linen towels–in Maine so many women knit a lot–it’s a portable project that can go everywhere easily.
But…
Giovanna’s work is at a whole other level.
Boy am I happy she is such a generous friend.
