My good friends (more like family) Nadine and her daughter Ed came for a few days. We had a very nice visit. Ed is a fabulous cook and they came with a rather large care package that included bottles of wine, homemade bread, a precooked dinner, and desserts (yes that is plural). It was all yummy! Ed even helped pull together some of our other meals. I always learn so much from her. Nadine is a good cook too.
When we get together like this we usually get a lot of knitting accomplished but not so much this visit. We did manage to stop by our favorite yarn store (Sheep to Shore).
I helped Nadine take a picture of Clapotis, her latest knit, to upload to Flickr and Ravelry. Afterwards Nadine presented me with this beautiful scarf.
I was so surprised and delighted at the same time. Clapotis is a free pattern that can be downloaded from knitty here. Nadine knit it to be worn with jeans so she added some repeats and made it a little narrower.I'm looking forward to their visit again next year.

This shawl, clapotis, is lovely.The chairs really impress me.
I am correct that Nantucket is on or near Martha's Vineyard, Carly Simon's home? She is my all time favourite singer.
Am I way out geographically?
You have been busy and all the work is gorgeous. The chairs - I am in awe of the woodwork! I've always loved Beadwork and yours is such a pretty color. Very nice Clapotis, too - and to have it as a gift is especially nice!
I'm glad you got some nice weather on Nantucket; the weather seems to have been all over the place this spring!
Nice Clapotis! Do you know if she knit it with a fingering weight yarn? Or, what she used? It will look GREAT with jeans. I'd like to make one just like it for chilly evenings in the mountains!
