Is there a picture of it on the net somewhere? I'm still hesitating to start one I want to make; too many UFOs right now. =Tamar |

When it's dry I'll get Spouse to take a picture of me wearing it. It's from a Vogue pattern. =Tamar You still haven't said how that's pronounced and if it's named for the river :-) Mary |

It's from an old letter to someone about seven generations back in the family; New England Protestant families tended to use Biblical names, so ultimately it's of Biblical origin. =Tamar |

S'looking good :-) Mary It'll be good to see the pictures Mary, it sounds very unusual. It's still drying, the cotton is thick (DK) and made thicker still by the doubled gold thread. I spun it but the final airing is taking ages. It's too warm to light a fire to help the drying and I don't want to risk spoiling the shape by hanging it on the line. I can't wait to show everyone :-) Mary |

I can't wait to show everyone :-) Bought the buttons today. How is that even with my own sixty years of buttons, my mother's ninety years and Spouse's mother's eighty years, I never had the right number, size or colour of buttons in all the jars in my drawer???
