I ordered a new keyboard and when it arrived in the post I was delighted! Himself very cleverly changed the board and put my laptop back together - it is still being temperamental but I can use it... might be time to buy a new one (said in a whisper so not to upset my existing laptop shhhh)
Anyhoo on to happy things!♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
I have finally finished my estuary shawl and it has been blocked, with the help of Pepper who either lay on my blocking or helped hold it down while I pulled the blocking pins out.
It felt like I had to remove a billion pins before I could pick my shawl up. As I lifted and looked at it I could not speak for amazement and happiness and disbelief that I'd AcTuaLlY made this shawl and that it AcTuaLlY looked like it should!

Himself took photos for me - it was snowy and white outside and a perfect foil for the dark shades of blues -

I love the way the rivulets and the runnels have formed.
You can see why it was named Estuary - happy happy happy me.♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
