Backstory
- Julie
- Pennsylvania, United States
- I'm currently a stay at home mother, freelance writing on my off time, wondering how I became part of the ten thousand year old tradition of raising the kids while creating textiles. I grew up in NE Ohio dairy country, married a sailor, lived in Hawaii ten years, lived in SC for five years, then moved back to culture shock and confusion. Nothing but good times ahead.

Wow. That's amazing. Seriously--gorgeous.
(Mate said 'Ouch. That looks painful. That's awesome.'
I said, 'You know she does this partially as therapy for her hand.'
He said, 'Her hand? What about her eyesight!'. Ah, the joys of getting older.)
It's a pleasure to know you.
Unbelievably gorgeous, beautiful and painstaking! (I just muttered things and hoped one day I'd be able to do that!)
And I loved the spinning tutorial - I have avoided spinning - I'm a bit worried that I don't really need yet another obsession and outlet for the credit card to be used!
WOW....just wow!
WOW - that's one hell of a piece of work! Well done you; what talent!
oooh, how pretty!!! Great job!!
Trish
Holy cats! It's beautiful. And you do this for therapy? Knitting makes my hands hurt. What am I doing wrong?
That is beautiful. I wish I was related to you so I could get such gifts.
Pam
Holy cow!
Gorgeous Julie. Well done. It's stunning and I'm seriously impressed!
Adbhutam!
A second Wow - what a beautiful piece of work.
holy crap, you made that? that's amazing, that makes the doilies my nana makes pale in insignificance, that is...wow
in other words good job :)
That's gorgeous; so elegant.
Wow . . . lovely!
god, that's gorgeous. Just totally totally awesome.
That is incredibly beautiful. Amazing work.
You finished that so quickly. It's gorgeous. I'd frame it and put it on the wall for fear that someone would get it dirty and then I'd have to kill them.
A-fucking-mazing! And you knocked that out in a matter of days! You're not really from this planet, are you?
Pretty! Did you starch it, or is that just freshly blocked?
how beautiful. i wish we lived close so i could get you to coach me!
i'm currently struggling with my first piece of lace -- a wedding shawl for my niece, who designed and is making her own gown.
that is, i'm making it if i can ever get past freaking row 11!!!
