Since last we met… 
I have been knitting.

Olive, green, and teal blues.

Where I Share My Secret Thoughts and Ask For Yours

June 1st, 2007 · 30 Comments

I was incredibly touched by the overwhelming response I received from the last post about the peacock shawl.
Touched? That’s how you are going to describe it? Let’s try flabbergasted. Bowled over. Need to sit down from the shock. And the response - I think unexpectedly huge sums it up nicely.
