What a shame it would be if these skills were lost forever, and we all contented ourselves with machine-made, mass produced... well, everything. That said, this particular shawl has been made by someone with a real, extra special talent and skill that few of us will ever master! xAnna @ Miss Beatrixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14565943094937521882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5773931325239238333.post-54143704788798387502013-01-31T06:03:18.885+00:002013-01-31T06:03:18.885+00:00I am speechless the shawl is beautiful!!! and so ...I am speechless the shawl is beautiful!!! and so is your son.
