  3. Sorry I haven't been to yours in ages - 50 swaps + life is so wonderfully time consuming! Start yours now & count me in ;)

    I'm posting later today with Beate's card, the originater (is this a word?) of this idea.

    Your hanging is great & the detail pics make me think of your sparkly ATC's....hmmm! Wonderful inspiration :)

  4. Just had a lovely voyeuristic time "travelling" around that top image..... wonderful! Loved the top right with the image of the woman. Makes me wish I had persevered with knitting machines............

  8. I love the little knitting swatches, they remind me of the ones I cut out of my Japanese knitting book that I picked up at a thrift store years ago.
    Your style is apparent large and small!
