Well, I finished my shawl with a day to spare and I've even managed to block it. So, it looks like I might have a warm neck for our trip home ... I hope!
We will be returning home to a house with no heating as the heatpump has chosen this week to die ... oh JOY. Pat (who has antifreeze running in his veins) informs me that even he is freezing and that the new heatpump can't be installed for around 3-4 weeks. Talk about going from one extreme to the other. Ah well. I guess we'll be buying a gas heater or something similar to get us through once we are home as extreme cold is just as dangerous for Geri as extreme heat is.
This is the gorgeous pashmina that Chris got for me. The stitching is super fine and it's hard to imagine it being done by hand.
And last but not least - Geri's silk shawl ...

All very cool! Well, except the bit about the heat pump, which sounds all very cold :(
