April madness

The shawl project has blossomed in a gratifying way.  I started the shawl, then took it to work and showed it to a couple other knitters who know the intended recipient and who are in on what's happening.  They were both very keen on the project.  They also knew of a couple more people to ask, and they joined in, too.  Then I even asked one more person who is a crotcheter.  I think he's going to try a crotchet edging for us.  He's never done anything like that, he said, but he would like to participate.  So we're off and running!  About a week to go, and with this group, I don't think we'll have any trouble having it done in time.  I'm so happy about it!

As the shawl makes its rounds, I am working on the ladder yarn scarf for mom.  It's coming along.  I have knitted 6 of the 10 balls she bought.  I'm sure one more will do it.  So, what to do with the extra 3 balls?  Any ideas?
