muggins - they are so sweet. You have given me some ideas for craft with my after-school care group. Thanks. I got most of the patterns free online via YouTube or Pinterest. If you need the links for any of them just message me:) |

So beautiful, and such a lot of work! I would have loved a commentary saying what each page was about. All those maps and patterns. Is it intended for someone to add things into? To write in? I don't think I'd be able to mess it up by writing into it. |

I don't think I'd be able to mess it up by writing into it. Awe, thank you. I will probably re-do my video. I was at Mom and Dad's, and it was hard to film. I will let you know if I make another one. I will use this for art journal pages for quotes, scripture, journaling, etc.  |

muggins, you inspired me to make a couple of more felt outfits for my troll doll. She only had Christmas attire. I made her shorts, a crop top, and a skater skirt. She really likes her new duds.

My Jimmy Beans Monthly shawl club yarn just arrived. And I love this months shawl pin. I swear the club has been totally worthwhile just for the shawl pins. It's been so fun. That's what I'm up to tonight.  |

jeremysgirl this one certainly looks right up your alley. It's lovely. So many of them have been so nice. A couple of just meh ones. But most of them have been so nice. I have so many now to choose from every time I wear a shawl. I love that. |

Finally got my Choctaw pouch basket stained, filled with flowers, and hung on the front door!   (I do still want to try the painting technique at some point but decided I wasn't going to care for it on this particular basket and in this location.) |

So cool! Thank you for sharing it with us. So... what do you put in it? Do you write on the pages? Add pictures? I obviously know nothing about this. eta: just read up thread. It's going to be perfect for art, journaling, scriptures. |

jeremysgirl do you get a new pattern with the yarn or is it one shawl with all the different yarns done month by month? How does one wear a shawl with a pin? I've only ever seen them worn as wraps.

You're lucky to have a sheltered place to hang it. Our front door gets all the prevailing weather. |

I get a little bit of yarn each month plus a pin. The little bits of yarn get worked into one shawl. Here, I've just finished my July yarn and I pinned it out so you can see so far. And I like my shawls and wraps pretty big. I love a shawl pin to keep it around my shoulders and arms without having to fuss with it constantly. A shawl pin is not just decorative but also functional.  |

I'm a hoodie girl and never go anywhere "fancy" to wear something so gorgeous. I'd probably snag it on every damn thing I walk by. LOL |

I figure though that if I damage one I can always make another. And really I make so many and will continue to that it's not big deal. |

What kind of a rock have I been living under? I've just done an internet search and a whole new world has opened up to me. There are such pretty ones out there! |

Those shawl pins are gorgeous. So many different styles. Have shawl pins been a thing for a long time, as in can I find them at antique stores and such?
I really like the wooden ones.
