Cool. Another crocheter. It makes for a great hobby, and you can
create some really useful and beautiful things with it. I do it for
those reasons, plus it helps to keep my fingers limber.

I'll see what I can do on that, I've got some of the centerpiece but
not the shawls. I do have a white shawl I made first in the same
pattern though.

Welcome to rcty, and good to see you standing up to be noticed! ;o)
Tell those unknowing people that Rosey Grier (ex-football player in case you
didn't know... I have no idea if you are old enough to know him or not) does
embroidery to help him relax, and I'll bet they wouldn't have the nerve to
tell him that it unmanly! He is one HUGE man! ;o)
*hugs*

Yep, I know who Rosie is. I didn't know he did embroidery though.
Amazing the tidbits and odd facts you pick up on usenet.
And thanks for the welcome too.
