A Great Pin is Worth a Thousand Words

And here it is...




This elegant bit of loveliness is Leslie Wind's Spiral Pin, available in sterling or bronze, shown here in sterling. The pin is held ingeniously in place with two opposing tabs on the back. As Leslie says, the trick is to make sure there is enough fabric to have the tension right between the tabs (which is easy enough to do). It can be worn either vertically or horizontally.

This pin is light and beautiful and so easy to wear, and I am looking forward to wearing it often. The scarf modeling the pin is the Norwegian Woods scarf in bobby blue malabrigo lace yarn.

Oh, well, I just had to go order one of those lovely spiral lace pins. She has some really great things - thanks for sharing! BTW, I started on the beaded auction socks - that blue yarn is great to work with and of course your pattern is a pleasure.

Stunning shawl pin! And I just love the blue Boy as well. Have not seen that colourway, but with Malabrigo it's so hard to choose... :-)
