Life's a Stitch

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend with our houseful of people. We ate as much as we knit, both to excess. So, I was working on my leftover shawl, which is going really well. I’ve thought about continuing and making it into a throw. This, of course, defeats the purpose of knitting a low cost shawl as  I would have to buy two skeins of yarn to achieve the colour balance I’m after. There was a lot of discussion about the options. My favourite argument for making it into a throw?  "Because I wouldn’t have to be afraid of being seen with you in public wearing that thing," says daughter #2. She’d better be careful – it might end up under the Christmas tree with her name on it 🙂

To top off a nice weekend, I won a blog contest. See Quiddity for details. Thanks, Jane!
