P.S. more about the shawl...

   I realized I neglected to mention that the name of the shawl is The Comfort Shawl, designed by Sarah Bradberry. I found it on a free pattern website. I will admit to changing it a little, however. I didn't like the original design done in garter stitch, so I do it in stockinette. It's just my own personal taste. And best of all, no pattern errata!    Thank you, Sarah!
