Wool & Words

Thanks for the good thoughts. The doctor informed me today that I have a sinus infection (ugh) and I now have Very Strong and Large Pills that should set me all to rights. Which is good, because Steve and I are leaving very early Friday morning for the Christmas festivities at my parents' house.

Lest you think I've been idle, here are some photos of my afternoon activities. First, the Estonian Shawl in repose pre-blocking:

I made the boards out of a 4' x 8' piece of foam that Steve was kind enough to cut into 2' wide pieces for me. Covered in a delightful navy gingham, these boards will get road tested when the time comes to block Steve's mom's shawl while we are at home.

Here's the shawl all pinned out:

Amazing how lace just opens up. And here's an upclose of the edging. The points are not as pronounced as I would like them, but hey, they're done.

So now, as I finish my laundry and work up the courage to fold it and pack, I'm watching Four Weddings and a Funeral and knitting up this fluffy thing:

Cheers!
