Ohhhh, who would not love wearing cotton candy on their shoulders? Beautiful, exquisite, I say.

Oh yeah, the red-tailed hawk was definitely going to have the bird that hit the window for dinner!
I’ve lost many a chicken to them. I’m sending all ours here in Tenn. your way.

Oh My GOSH that shawl turned out so great – seriously Great! If it isn’t the doctors wife’s color it will be after she gets it –

And tell me that you are making whatever you make from the yarn that Jade brought you just for you — that color is just too perfect to give away –

Beautiful! The shawl is absolutely beautiful! I think the doctor’s wife will be stunned – I think the doctor will be stunned 🙂 – and I think she will love it…how could she not?! Beautiful!
So glad you’re feeling better too!

I love your “combination” shawl. Remember the song about the fellow who built his own car with pilfered parts from the Detroit auto line, then had to title it as a ’51, ’52, ’53, ’54…because it took him years to get enough parts?

How wonderful to see you standing!!! And smiling!!! I’m sure I could never tire of your smile…

Congratulations on your accomplishment. Of course, now you have to report on your doctor’s reaction – and his wife, should you hear from her directly. 😉

You are such an artist and strong minded woman! I would applaud if I didn’t need to type. hihihi

Absolutely Gorgeous! Both Dr S & his wife will be thrilled, of that I am sure 🙂

I was sure you’d like the bobblehead jay! And that wad of cotton candy is simple stunning all blocked!

Love that blue Malabrigo. Malabrigo Sock?

Oh, how beautiful! You and the shawl, both! So good to see you up, smiling, back at knitting group… you truly are on the road to recovery, thank God!

the shawl is beautiful!!

The shawl is so pretty, I’m sure she’ll love it!
We have had a Cooper’s hawk lurking around our yard the last few days. There are two wild bunnies who have claimed our back yard as their own (with leafy encouragement by my husband). They have had many litters, as rabbits do, but none seem to survive, until this summer. We now have four bunnies that live out back and our grandchildren love to watch them cavort about. Yesterday the hawk was perched on a post near where the babies were nibbling so my husband burst out the back door and sent the hawk (and, of course, the bunnies) flying. I laughed at hubby protecting his bunnies but I am also glad we have birds of prey, as otherwise we would have hundreds of rabbits by now!

Oh, my gosh! What a beautiful shawl. I’m not even normally fond of pink! You are an amazing knitter and an even more thoughtful person. I hope you are truly on your way to a long and healthier life!

That shawl is beautiful and the model is, too! As for the hawk with the four foot wingspan: those rats and squirrels in your neighborhood won’t stand a chance.

How could it not be her color. So fine and gorgeous besides–well, the shawl is, too. I hope the new yarn will make something lovely for you.

I LOVE the photo of you!
You look so vibrant! YAY!!!!!

ANd the shawl is breathtakingly exquisite.

And I have that very shade of malabrigo laceweight…I’d suggest a yarn knitalong, but you are way faster than I am :-}

And not long after we moved here, a red-tailed hawk stooped to its prey (a mourning dove) and enjoyed dinner in the back yard.
I’m from country-bred stock, and it felt like a welcome to me. My neighbors were kinda horrified.

And I want to know where the bobbleheaded bluejay came from!!! I wonder if they have chickadees? A chickadee would be perfect for Oscar.

Beautiful and sure to be appreciated. If not, well…

I love the idea of a bobble headed bird of prey on top of my monitor – it might keep me off this infernal machine 🙂

Wow you see alot of interesting birds and I must say that shawl is beautiful:) I love the gifts Channon sent you:)((((Hugging You)))))) Darcy

Ooh, gorgeous, gorgeous! I mean the shawl, but I’m betting that hawk was gorgeous, too 🙂

Heh. I always figured wedding ring meant HIS wedding ring.

Hey, is that you standing there? You look more blond than grey.

I have to say I am most impressed with your knitting, your standing, “your” hawk!

Fun time:
A DREADED CALL
Problems with my laptop required calling the dreaded company help line. The service rep, based in another country, did not speak English very well. So I tried to explain it as simply as possible. “I can’t get my computer to work.”

“Ah, I see”, he responded. “You are unable to transport your computer to your place of employment.”

Pretty pretty shawl! And aren’t we blessed to have friends who brought us sock summit souveniers? nathania even dyed my own special color!

In a word: Gorgoeus!

So, your bird feeder is a buffet for hawks? Lends a whole new meaning to the term “bird feeder”, don’t it? 😉

That shawl is heartbreakingly lovely. What a delicate shade of pink. Wow.

Beautiful shawl! Is there a sort of tradition with a wedding ring shawl? I’m sensing a story….

That shawl is so delicate and beautiful!!! You are going to write that pattern out right? A new book coming? 😛
