I KNOW!!!� It was rough passing it off, let me tell you.� But the check she gave me helped.

I’m not makeing two more just like it, just two more shawls…different patterns.� Also, I have to make an Aeolien shawl as one of my Christmas gifts.� Maybe one of these days I’ll get one done for myself.� Maybe one like your Charlotte’s web, the big one.� It’s still probably the most beautiful shawl I’ve seen.� I’m sure that’s in part due to the colors…

WOW! I can’t believe you had to fork that baby over to someone else! And you’re going to make 2 more just like it? And still neither for you? Wow. It’s so gorgeous. At least you have the pics. But still!

Thanks!� I still look at the pictures in awe.� Silly, I know, but I can’t help myself. ;o)

I would totally suggest you make it, sorry about the enabling.� I’ll warn you, though, the knitted on edge is at least 40% of the work.� Don’t get fooled like me to believing you’re in the home stretch when you get there.

That is STUNNING! You should be ridiculously proud of it!

It’s not a pattern I’d seen before. And now, curse you, I’m going to have to make one at some point!

Yeah, no kidding on the answered prayers.� God knew that we couldn’t do anymore than what we are doing now, so He made it work out.

You know, I normally hate scarf knitting.� Just the idea bores me, but this scarf was actually kind of fun.� And it worked up quickly.� I think it has something to do with changing the colors.

There’s not many things in this life better than having a full sweater made in a week.� Can’t beat size 17 needles for a quick project.

And I thought you’d appreciate the orange.� Most all of the patrons of my LYS have had their colors done, and they complain about all the colors that they can’t wear anymore.� One in particular is like s, she loves earth tones and especially orange.� Motst of the sweaters she made were in browns and oranges.� Well, when she got her colors done, guess what?� Orange is not on her pallette.� She’s heartbroken.� That’s why I won’t get my colors done.

Ah., man, but I hated every minute of it.� Honestly, if I wasn’t getting $150 for making it, I would have thrown it out.� There was nothing about this project I liked.� I’m glad it’s over and done with it.

But, thanks anyway.

Thanks!� She loves it.� I’m sure that when she gets it for her birthday, it’ll be a fight to get her to take it off.
