crochet shawl in noro..........




Not often I crochet, but now and again I like to give it a whirl, in rememberance of my rather wonderful Great Aunty Lil, who taught me when I was 6 years old. Ofcourse I have to thank my wonderful Nan for my knitting skills, that she bestowed upon me at the age of 3, and to my very tolerent mother, who has always put up with my creations and stripey knitted jumpers that she financed through out my early years.


This is using Noro again, and basically is made up as I go along, like the other shawl, please email me for any details, advice etc on tinchapeltextiles@yahoo.com

My Lovely Bride in the Blue Dupion Silk Wedding Dress !!


What a beautiful bride she was, it was not hard to create a wedding dress for such a lovely person. It took over 25 metres of dupion silk, but was worth all the effort and time, it was a wonderful project for me to make, thanks Sarah xxx
