I made the s’more bars for the 4th and they were fabulous! I followed your example of doing a 1 & 1/2 batch and it worked great in the 9×11 pan. Very yummy and is definitely a keeper.

I have a towel rack on the back of my bedroom door that holds my shawls and scarves. It makes me happy to see them out in the open all the time.

The delicate looking ones are actually wadded up in a clothes basket in my bedroom. Before anyone starts protesting or gasping in horror, you need to understand that I was taught that to avoid creating “weak”spots in the lace you were NOT supposed to store them folded, that crumpled was actually better for them. If you look at old photographs of Orenberg shawls you will see that the makers actually stored them wadded up in glass jars.

I have two closet boxes…one for summer and one for winter. They are getting full.

I’ve enjoyed reading through all these comments! My shawls are in various places throughout our home. My husband likes seeing all the knitted items and it makes me happy that he does Although we have moths in Colorado I’m told that when they are not in the feeding stage when they are about. True or not, I haven’t had any issues. They are more attracted to indoor lights than woolens.

Sheri-Is there anything The Loopy Knitting Community can do for those that have lost their homes to fire?

Mine live in one of two places. The first is a shelf in my closet where my shawls sit nicely folded. The other place is a hanger in another closet where they hang on top of each other – a little less organized, but gets the job done nicely!

9 of my shawls are stretched out and draped over the back of the sofa. It keeps them looking nice but it takes a while to arrange them again when I take one out from the bottom of the pile. There are also shawls draped on my office chair back, a couple other armchairs, and on another sofa. No matter where you sit in my house, there is bound to be a shawl to wrap up in.

I roll them and store in plastic bags. Living in Florida I have to be real careful with moss. Store them in my closet on a shelf.
I am thinking at what are you going to buy for us……Have a great time!
