Dear Jan,
Here’s a quick post before I head to Toronto on business. I’ll be taking a new shawl with me - Stephen West’s Daybreak, knit of Mirasol Nuna on size 4 Addi Lace needles.
I’m loving everything about this little piece - the drape of the yarn from the bamboo, the shimmer of the silk, the swing of the design, and the way the colors balance each other so nicely.
And it is snug and warm with the wool in the blend - good for a night when we are expecting yet more snow.
Ah, well, as sure as Day breaks, spring will certainly spring. Maybe in less time than it took me to knit this shawl?
Must go pack - have a great week!
Love,
Ellen

I love the shawl! (But you probably knew that before I said it, didn’t you?)
We’re supposed to get that snow, too. Winter sure is fighting to the bitter end this year. Stay warm, and have a good trip!

Lovely shawl, and it looks great on you, the way it drapes.
Snow here tomorrow too. Very tired of it.

Hey! Isn’t one of those rows supposed to be all brown??? (Heh!)
The shawl looks lovely on you! Enjoy Toronto.
