Hope You Had Happy Holidays!

It was a wonderful Christmas! I got some natural sock yarn and Jacquard Dyes!!

















Also some "Foggy Bottom" Sock Yarn!















Have been working mainly on the Lady Eleanor Shawl - Here's a picture of the progress! It is turning out really pretty!! Can't get over how the colors all fit together and create a harlequin effect.









Then - my dad gave my sister-in-law and I quilts that were made by his mother's mother - my Great Grandma Dustin. They were originally quilt tops that my mother had quilted by the ladies of the Ferguson Presbyterian Church for "the girls." Convinced my dad that she had meant my SIL and I as "the girls," so this year (with a bit of help from a Christmas elf), he was able to give them as gifts!

When She's Right . . . .

She's right!!! It basically matches my sofa!

This is the first few tiers of the Lady Eleanor shawl done in the Noro Silk Garden I bought recently. Just thought my niece would be pleased to see some progress!
