Isn't it beautiful!? It is basically a knitted rectangle with a ruffle and when you wrap it around your shoulders it looks like this. Awesome. You might remember the yarn. 
I bought it last Christmas when I was going to learn how to knit. Again, the less said about that the better. While Lorelei is a stellar teacher, I am not a stellar student. Lori rescued the yarn, took it to Dallas and it emerged as this shawl. I can't wait for the weather to turn a little cooler so I can go out in style. It will be just the thing to wear out to dinner and the theater. (Hey, It could happen!).Jeff is doing better and they are cutting back on the meds today in the hope that he becomes alert. Alert and complaining. Once complaints about the hospital food starts, we know he is on the road to recovery.

Glad to hear your brother is doing better. I'm in the "designing patterns with new fabric" zone but came up long enough tonight to check. I'll keep praying though. Yep, complaints are good.
