How shocking that your loved ones were so close to the action. No sooner does your heartbeat slow down after LB's scare when it starts to race again. May life settle down properly for you soon. My goodness! <br /><br />Funny how the same yarn label and colour can behave differently from two different balls. I had a similar experience with Katia's "Darling" recently where the variegated colour pattern started going backwards - I think the factory had spliced some new yarn into the ball and did it backwards! Maybe there's a reason for that cowl pattern to be called the "Interrupted" cowl? You may have cracked the secret! ;-)<br /><br />Gotta keep smiling and I'm sure that beautifully finished cowl will bring a smile to the recipient. Lovely work, Meredith.

I am so happy that he was not a part of this tragedy. Very scary. My daughter is a teacher and I never thought I'd have to worry about her and her occupation. Schools seem to be huge target. <br /><br />I think its great that Little Buddy was able to get in a half day of school. Keeps things a bit normal for him. <br /><br />Happy Holidays and keep those darling decorations going. I haven't gotten my mojo up for that...maybe a bug or virus.

I can't believe what's going on in this world. I think both your scarves are magnificent! Lucky people who will get them. I love your Christmas decor. Mine are in boxes in living room, the tree is up but I have lots of work to do. We finally found a new sofa and chair for the LR.. the old stuff was clawed up by our cat and we've been looking for quite a while now. Those will deliver on Thursday.
