here are christmas pics from rainier. we actually didn't take any in sf this year -- both cheryl and i were still sick. we did our usual video chat throughout the festivities -- it's second best to actually being together but it's surprisingly good, especially since mom has gotten her new laptop which can be positioned now in the middle of the action.

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.
