I'm just going to pretend I posted this a long time ago. You know you're really bad about posting things when a friend sees a new shawl in the living room before I blogged a Thank You. My internet connection was horrible 2 weeks ago and last week was monopolized by Little House Camp. I blinked and July is almost over. At the beginning of the month I had an MRI. I'm horribly claustrophobic. I remember how terrified I was of that little tube when I had the MRI on my knee. I took a little pill and asked a lot of friends to pray this time. And then Friday morning...I read that a friend was sending me a HUG in the mail. On top of that, I read What's That Noise and it SO encouraged my heart. How could this not be a good MRI? God had full knowledge of the scary things in my life. He has allowed it, because He knows what's best for me. He didn't just leave me there, He's holding me when I tremble. When I arrived, I was impressed with the new 3T machine. The bore is SO much bigger. I almost felt calm. I know the prayers of my friends and family were with me.
So, since M asked for some knitting, I figured that he owed me some photos. I couldn't get shots of myself in the shawl. Here I am...wrapped in a New Jersey Hug! Thanks Grace! I love the shawl. In the box there was a little mouse too, but it seems that my little mouse (5) took it to her room before I got a photo.
I love the span on this shawl...it's really generous and wraps around so cozy. It was even chilly enough for me to enjoy it a few mornings which is super rare for July. I'm counting that as a gift from God too. Since we're not running our AC, we really appreciate the cooler temps. 
I really think this shawl was destined to live in L.A. I mean...don't you see Laker purple and gold?! ;0) My kids love that. 
I can't wait for the cooler temps to return. So I can wear more hand knits.

Grace is such a sweet and generous person. :)
LOVE that, especially the Lakers connection. I use my Grace shawl all the time.
What a beautiful shawl!
It's a beautiful shawl; and I'm glad you made it through the MRI fairly calmly.
so glad you like it and will enjoy using it!!
GORGEOUS! What a lovely hug!
OK. I see the purple and gold, but honestly? When I look at that picture, I really see a butterfly!
And butterflies are beautiful - after they've gone through a long time of transformation in a dark cocoon. Where they probably don't understand what's happening to them. They just need to trust.
Hmmmmm.
Sound like anyone you know?
Love you!
The shawl is beautiful! I'm glad you got through your MRI okay.
I've caught up on 11 posts this morning and just have to tell you how fun the Little House camp looks!
