Advent-ually Finished.

The shawl is done, except for running in the fifty-something ends:

I may block it, just by patting and stretching the edges and corners even after washing, so it dries in shape.  But since it's for office wear, I don't care about them being perfect.  This measured about 16"x64" folded, but when I held the shawl up it stretched well over my head.  It wraps about me very nicely, stretching to 17"-18" wide.  The bands alternate between seed stitch and a moss stitch variation.

Also in the photo is the "pocket hat" I finished, leftover sock yarn on US#1 and US#2 needles, 120 stitches around, and it fits my head.  Going into the charity box.

I went to the Science Fiction Book Club at the library and enjoyed the discussion, so I plan to make it a regular thing.  I've found the next book in an online version and also on paper in local bookshops, and will be looking for the other two in the trilogy.

Winter Storm Cora came through Dallas and here, dumping snow and ice and rescheduling my planned visit of this week to the end of the month.  Luckily friends could use the two theater tickets that I couldn't reschedule, and enjoyed the shows.
