Look What the Mail Brought!!

Hi All,


A quickie post to show you what the postman delivered yesterday.  Way back in early February I was fortunate to win a give away on Glenna's Blog.  Dover Publications took their sweet time delivering, but what a feast for my eyes:




The projects are way above my skill level at this point in time...but I can dream.  There are 14 patterns based on the Tudor dynasty - the wives of Henry VIII and other women of the time.  This is not the original publication from 1998, but a newer one from Dover Publications.  Here are two of my favorites:  first up Lady Mary - a gorgeous wrap:




Sorry for the glare from the flash on all the pictures -- again, taken at 5:30 this morning....


And here is Anne Boleyn:




You can see more of the patterns on the Ravelry link.


This is a great book to thumb through and get inspiration...and (for me) incentive to up my knitting game a bit.


OK, time for me to buckle down and do some work.  Hoping everyone has a lovely weekend filled with Spring delights!!
