We had a big dip in temps last night (in the low 40s)… weath­er­man said it was record lows!

Any­way — I wrapped myself up in a nice warm babyghan that my for­mer MIL made for my son when he was a baby (12 years ago, and it’s still in gor­geous con­di­tion), and worked on my friend’s shawl.

I dug out my once-rejected Home­spun yarn, and went to work. I’m happy to say that it’s about 3/4 done, and I’m really lik­ing the result.
I’m using “Ranch” color Home­spun. You may recall that I had orig­i­nally intended to use it for my mother’s shawl back in Feb­ru­ary. I ended up mak­ing hers with Light & Lofty.

I’m hop­ing to fin­ish it today and maybe drop it off tomor­row.
Now that I have her name, I can per­son­al­ize a note with the shawl.

I’ve tried 3 dif­fer­ent ghan pat­terns and I’m not happy with any. I don’t know if it’s the pat­terns or the yarn (RH claret). I have a ton of this color, because I was going to make DS a ghan, but after pur­chas­ing… 8 skeins, I found out the color is too dark!
Any­way, I’ll find a pat­tern… just gonna take time.
