It was the first time I'd ever been there and really enjoyed it. I brought along a hand-made shawl to give to a my friend who lives there. We've been pen pals for about 10 years and this was our first face to face meeting. I hope you love Amsterdam. By the way, we went to a lovely little cafe called VOC near the train station - its an old corner building in front of one of the canals - give it a try if you can.The Knitting Instincthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01599163983897836167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2135139821724644442.post-13483751541395304082010-09-13T14:56:44.753-05:002010-09-13T14:56:44.753-05:00I love your designs!

Recently my friend Margarita made an AMAZING and HUGE daybreak using my own handdyed yars as a stripe with black as a base and a few chartruese stripes in the border.<br /><br />I was so taken with it I started one too - with some of the recent Sundara Napa Valley Club yarn colours. I think this pattern really suits rich moody colours because it's such a sophisticated piece when made oversize .. <br /><br />I really love your designs, thanks for them ....Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06562287637130603845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2135139821724644442.post-81356878136164150582010-08-26T14:56:39.575-05:002010-08-26T14:56:39.575-05:00I wish you all the best on your life in Amsterdam!...I wish you all the best on your life in Amsterdam!
