My Maman with her Angel's Shoulder Shawl

Laurence who was due on his dad's fiftieth birthday (April 26), was born May 8, on my mother's birthday.  A few weeks ago I sent my mother, Gisèle, a shawl knitted with Aloft from KnitPicks in Pennyroyal.  Today I received some pictures my dad took of his beloved wife wearing her Angel's Shoulder Shawl as he calls it.  Isn't she beautiful.  Je t'aime maman!  

My mother did the needlework of the Girl Reading using extra small stitches for the face and hands.  

I hope to be as lovely as my maman when I grow older.
