And Viola

My latest design is Viola, a crochet lace shawl.
You can find the PDF pattern here
And the Angel lace here
the shawl is made with 3 colours, but if you make it with a single colour, you will need just 1 skein of lace yarn.

Friday's riddle & update - 27th of Feb

A Gigantic update this week!


And the riddle is

You help to sweeten the bitterest of tears,
But your name makes the lips of the poor curl into hate,
whilst the rich were born with it.
You gleam like the stars when worked on,
But disappear into depths of unwanted junk when dull.

One travelled to the land of the alpacas,
