Two of the pretties I created on my antique Swedish loom while writing SILENT WITNESSES – Anna Kronberg book 5 will go to YOU. Plus: a copy of The Strand Magazine with Arthur Conan Doyle’s first ever contribution! And you don’t even have to gnaw off your arms and legs to get them. Nope. About the antique copy of The Strand Magazine: Royal Edition of the third issue, notable for Arthur Conan Doyle’s first-ever contribution. This copy is from March 1891, very fragile, watermarked, and has a broken front hinge. When originally published, it was considered a de luxe item with its gilt page edges, a golden cover with a picture of The Strand on the front and high quality thick paper. About the shawl: Made of 100% mulberry silk yarn that was hand-painted by me in colours of the early morning sun (shades of gold and orange). It measures 27″ x 57″ (69cm x 146cm), plus twisted fringes. VALUE: US$300 About the cowl: Made with silk & yak down yarn, hand-painted in shades of turquoise, blue, dove, gold, and rust. It measures approximately 31″ (80cm) in circumference, and 20″ (50cm) depth. VALUE: US$100 ANNA KRONBERG BOOK 2 Best Sherlock Holmes Novel 2014 (German Sherlock Holmes Society) “A duel of two deduction monsters.” “…a powerful debut.” London 1889. A dead man is found floating in the city’s waterworks. Fearing an epidemic, the Metropolitan Police call upon bacteriologist Dr Anton Kronberg to examine the body. All signs point toward cholera having killed the man…but for faint marks around wrists and ankles. Evidence for a crime is weak, and the police lose interest in the case. But Kronberg suspects that the dead man’s final days had been steeped in cruelty. Soon, a second victim is found, and Kronberg gets embroiled in a web of abduction, abuse, and murder. But catching a killer and staying alive would be easier if the doctor didn’t have secrets of…her own. Warning: medical procedures are depicted without apology.

I can attest that the garments that Annelie handmake of the most incredible quality! Much like the stories that Annelie weave, these garments are like no other ‘out there!’ I am lucky enough to have a throw and it is a prize possession! To be the owner of one…you will feel special wrapping yourself as you read a tale she has, ‘weaved!’-see what I did there??😉
Thank you, Michael 🙂
I’m glad you love the blanket!
Beautiful pieces! I wonder how you find time for childrearing, writing, weaving and managing the farm! Wonder Woman, no less 🙂
