Improvisation

Sometimes it is quite useful not being able to get what you want in local shops. I spent this afternoon turning thin strips of silk into wrapped cords and then applying them to the shawl. I wanted some rayon knitted cord that I could dye to colour, this made an acceptable substitute, probably better. I think I am almost ready to apply knotted ribbon here and there, but have one or two blank spots along the length of the stole I must fix up first.
