Shine, Shine, Shine like a star........

I am dedicating this post to a very good friend of mine who isnt feeling her best at the moment.  She is a fantastic friend of mine who I have known for a good few years and whom I couldnt be without.

The following woolwork project is one that I would like to share as I think it describes many things about my lovely friend

Firstly, the project is a Brighton Cowl and is made using a 4mm hook and some rather lovely Scrumptious DK by Fyberspates (Biscuit) bought at Purl City Yarns (new LYS in Manchester)....phew!

(excuse the non-woven in ends! this is just the first row of 3)

...and this is why it is so fitting...
1. My friend is indeed a star
2. Without her I would never have persevered with crafting and indeed crochet (which is now such an important thing in my life and from which I get immense pleasure).
3.I got very excited when I first saw this yarn (it really does feel fantastic!) and my friend was there to share the excitement.  Its a wonderful feeling to have a someone share your interest.
4. You may not be able to see it but I had some issues joining the stars...my friend was there to give help and her advice worked a treat  Whether its wool or life in general my friend is always on hand to help me join things up!!

So my lovely - this one's for you!  (you know who you are)
