Blocked

Finished!!! I don't know if you'll be able to see in this small picture, but about half way through the body of the shawl, I must have skipped a row, thus switching RS for WS. I didn't notice until I had the shawl laid out flat, blocking. Oh well, I'm sure very few will notice… Continue

Visitors

Look who came to visit - a pair of goldfinches! (Can you see their heads just above the window sill?) Aren't they cute? They were in the tree just outside the window, then they hopped over to the ledge to look at themselves in the mirrored glass and eat bugs off the window sill.
