  2. What Cari said-I love the teal shawl. I too have been doing more knitting than stitching. I want to get some socks going too. Your podcast is inspiring me to get in gear. Love watching - not enough hours in the day nor days in the week. Gardening is just around the corner for me so I need to get things finished. Keep up the podcasts Xoxo
