The post describes the process of adding borders to a quilt, fixing a knitting project, crocheting a doll, and scanning embroidery patterns. The quilt was finished in 2008 but needed resizing. After struggling with the process, the quilt was successfully enlarged. The knitting project was restarted and the crocheted doll is coming along nicely. Antique embroidery pattern books are also being scanned for sharing.

Workroom #96 – Blue & White Shawl
The "Blue & White Shawl" pattern presents challenges due to old knitting terminology and materials. Adapting it, the knitter found modern needle and yarn equivalents online. They extended the pattern for more yarn usage, motivated by the desire to avoid leftovers. The project was facilitated by a thoughtful gift, a yarn bowl.
