I've never actually worn a shawl. Ever. And now I have 3 on the go.
The Tuscany in Seasilk.
The MS3 in baby alpaca.
And now the Hanami in Zephyr wool/silk.
Maybe I should consider giving one away, but right now the thought of giving any one of these away gives me a horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach. Too much love and toil and tears (not really, but you get the picture) to give these away.
I suppose I can just start wearing a shawl everyday to work. It'll be "my thing". I'll be the pharmacist who wears a shawl. I have been referred to a number of times as the Tall Pharmacist; I think I like the Shawl-wearing Pharmacist better. I will never be cold. I will always be chic. I will be able to better hide any body-related flaws. I think it's a great idea!! Now, I just have to actually finish one....

Good luck with that fashion goal. I think it sounds good. You might have to break down some stereotypes about knitting and grannies, but I think it could really work for you.
Maybe I'll try it myself.
You two are killing me with the shawls. I have never knit one, but have always wanted to try, but haven't because I too have never worn one in my life. If I keep looking at all the beautiful ones you're knitting, though, I may have to make one for myself. It would look good just draped uselessly over a chair, right?
I followed the link to your blog from your Hanami KAL...and just had a great time reading your entries ;) You two should consider a book - LOL!
My best friend is a knitting pharmacist - I am off to tell her about your blog, too ;)

Hey T, I changed my mind. One of those shalls will work well for me. I'm sure you can part with one. Can you make a pair of sox to match it? Warmth counts. I will be a great hostess launcher.
LOL you know who (she that cannot be named on a knitting blog)
