Little Dimun

The Little Dimun is about 5" now, but it is slow going. At least I know it will hold me through my trip to Cleveland. Kate is right, beginning shawl pics don't really look like much!

I finally gave my brother and sister-in-law the blanket I wove for them. They loved it - my brother announced to his kids that it was "all his"! Here's an old picture of the two of us when we lived in Japan. Remember those clip on glasses that came with the doctor's kit?
