sheldrake

Ah, seems I never answered this. How very not unlike me. :)

I did enjoy making that shawl, but I'm not entirely convinced it was a success. It was kind of small for a shawl. My mum was ecstatic on first being presented with it, but after she'd walked around the house in it and had it fall off a number of times, she came back and said, 'How about if I sew some buttons on it?' To which I responded with a sort of ungracious howl of rage. I told her she just wasn't draping it right, all right? and did she realise just how long it took me to make and so on and etc. To which responded that of course, it was lovely and there was absolutely nothing wrong with it, she just thought... buttons...

It was that sort of Christmas, really.
