Having said that, I often do find it sad to relinquish (Not sure if this is the word I am looking for) a constant companion and wonder if you feel the same about this particular one. It sounds pretty epic, I think I would hold on to it for awhile. Andrea and Andrew really deserve a break from an almost 7 day a week job. I hope I still have some early unseen ones to tide me over.

Someone else ran a thread through the points and stretched out that way. Two others did as Woolly Bits suggested above. I am fortunate to have a huge island in my kitchen and was barely able to pin out every point (a couple ran off the blocking mats even though I have 2 sets of them). I liked the shawl when done but gifted it to a friend who loved the colors and who is taller than me and looked great in the shawl. I'm sure someone in your family will see it and admire it if you decide it needs to be gifted. That yarn is so luscious though, you might think of keeping it.kayThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16814148805700778532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-60579078876893793472020-08-17T20:52:55.311+01:002020-08-17T20:52:55.311+01:00I've been reading More Miracle Than Bird by Al...I've been reading More Miracle Than Bird by Alice Miller, and it seems very much like a book you'd enjoy. It's a modern book, but it reads like a much older piece. (Reminds me of Barbara Pym.)
