Can’t wait to start my Christmas Eve Cast-on.

Really love this handsome pattern!
Thank you so much, Susan B. Anderson , for sharing your design genius with us all!

And the Finch yarn is lovely - crisp, a bit rustic - just perfect for this shawl!

(I so enjoyed being in Portland for Christmas. Super-thanks to my two darlin’ kiddos for my Powell’s and Twisted loot!)

And don’t you just love my little cabin at the foot of Mt. Shasta?!? … Well…I can dream, can’t I?!???

(finally got up the courage to try steam blocking after watching Arne and Carlos’ video! I LOVE the results - didn’t flatten the stitches at all, (as I’d feared), but just “mellowed them out” - creating a super smooth knitted fabric. And I didn’t have to move furniture and cats around to find wet-blocking space!)
