Sheri:

It’s a beautiful shawl, but I simply cannot puzzle out the directions for the “tails” – short row section at the beginning of the shawl. My brain hurts, my eye twitches and I feel more than stupid. Can anyone help?

Wow, that is SOME shawl. Sheri, how about a picture of you wearing it? Hmmmm…it gives me an idea of what to do with my different shades of turqoise WM. I had to agree with Kitrin about the English instructions, though. I used to teach English as a foreign language and it was strangely reminiscent of some essays that I used to get.–LOL! This is not a put-down, just a reflection on how languages work differently and not just the words themselves, but the sentence structure and even the approach to certain processes (like instructions!). But thanks to the person who provided the translation, we shall struggle through somehow.

Hey Sheri,

Thanks for the pictures of the Loopy Ewe and all the shenanigans that happen when we’re not looking (case in point-the elf). I love that you make us feel like we’re there with you and your yarn heaven. Please keep us updated with everything Loopy!

Tell the truth, Sheri – do you go back to the pile of Wollmeise and sniff it every once in a while?

That shawl is beautiful! (My list of “shawls I would like to make” is NOT getting any shorter, although my list of “socks I’d like to make” is longer).

I’m so struck by how gorgeous that shawl is! Sheri, I think your shawl kick will get me on a shawl kick! Thank you Susan for all the good info about this one!

Soooo, I printed off the pattern for the September Shawl cuz I thought it would be cool since my birthday is in September. All I have to say is, “what the hell?????” Maybe my brain isn’t big enough or complex enough to comprehend the instructions because after reading through the pattern, I started getting that weird twitch around my right eye. Maybe I’ll pass on this pattern until I can get my hands on different instructions. It’s very pretty, though.

I downloaded and English version of Septembertuch, but was a little puzzled by it – maybe I had not had enough coffee yet.
How do you make it through Monday updates when we crash your website?? It is great to have a booming business, but do you have enough Starbucks to make it through the day????

Actually, mine looks darker than that one. I think mine is (from the top down):

Brombeere
Der Letzte Versuch
Veilchen (very dark)

But that’s just a guess!
