well, i can't show you everything i did during this past week of vacation because i'm a member of santa's elves and sworn to secrecy, but here's something i did finally manage to get done -- this is the karabella boise (cashmere/wool) lace shawl i finished a year ago -- finally being blocked. i had to put the two leaves onto the dining room table to fit this on the board. i can hardly wait to wrap myself up in this one -- it's so, so soft.
