VIRTUAL SHOW AND SHARE PHOTOS SUBMITTED IN May

Ginny Newton and Carol Myers – Pressed Flowers Cowls designed by Amy Christophers – knit with Madelinetosh Tosh Merino Light in two colors. Same yarn, two different knitters: Ginny knit hers first and gave Carol the leftovers, enough to knit another one! The top one is Carol’s, the lower one is Ginny’s. Why the difference in size, ladies ??
