These are for Marguerite.
I wore my shawl to church today and am so very happy with it! I got several compliments on the shawl itself, but the compliments that pleased me most were “My, don’t you look pretty today”. Don’t you think that’s the ultimate test of any wardrobe item – that it makes you look and feel good instead of drawing attention to itself?

I’m so honored. This is the first time I’ve ever had someone do a blog entry just for me. Bet a few other people peeked at it, though.
You did look very pretty for church today, but I’m a knitter and I can’t take my eyes off that shawl. Fantastic!
Thanks for the pictures. I’m in total awe of your knitting capabilities and your perseverance.
Hurrah! I’m not nearly so far along on mine– just finished picking up all those edging stitches this weekend. It’s so exciting to see one that’s complete! Congrats!
