Bruce Fletcher (remove dentures to reply) wrote: About twenty years ago my cousin knitted a christening shawl using very thin needles and very, very fine wool from the sheep's neck. The completed item is about 4 feet square and, according to Shetland tradition, must be able to be drawn through a wedding ring. My cousin's shawl passed this test but she says she won't ever do one again, neither her eyesight, her concentration or her patience are up to it anymore! A decade or so ago when I was on the Knit List that had a HUUUUGE traffic, there was a lady who told a story about buying a fleece from a baby lamb who either was stillborn or only lived a few days, and the lady selling the fleece was very sad at the thought of selling the fleece of that poor baby lamb (although this was her business -- she raised sheep to sell their fleeces), and the lady who bought the fleece spun it super-thin and made one of these types of shawls, and the next time she was going to be in the vicinity of the fleece-seller, she took the shawl she had made to show the lady so she could rejoice in the marvel of beauty that had been created. That was the best true story I ever heard on my few years on the list, and I was sorry that I didn't keep a copy of it. It would be very interesting. Please share with us if you find it Dennis |

DA Da, It looks like fun to me. I did an very fine knit for my niece several years ago, 28 per inch. It was fun. Dennis If there weren't spring/summer distractions, then I think there would be more knitting done. DA |

It was a mailing list in the days before advertising-supported mailing
lists, and I doubt I will ever find a copy unless someone reads this and happened to have saved it. Spike wrote: the best true story I ever heard on my few years on the list, and I was sorry that I didn't keep a copy of it. It would be very interesting. Please share with us if you find it Dennis |
