Well, I'm still at home; just couldn't get it together last night to hit the road this morning so we will leave tomorrow instead. It's so nice to be able to be flexible and to be able to change plans on the spur of a moment now that we're retired. So, instead of traveling, I'm blocking my entrelac stole that I finished knitting in the wee hours of Monday night-Tuesday morning. I was determined to finish it up since it had been on the near completion list for a few weeks. This morning after having coffee and chocolate dipped cookies, I decided that I would have time to add the fringe and set it to block this morning; then I'd be able to take it on our trip to wrap up in on the car ride. Here's a photo of it laying outside on the hot-tub drying in the breeze. 
It's not a good photo because I had to face the sun when I was taking it, but it gives you an idea of how large it is and I'll make a better photo once it is dry and steamed down if needed. I used all but a few yards of Nora's Silk Garden Lite to knit the shawl and the 9th ball for fringe. DH ask if I'd charge $500 to knit one for someone else and my reply was 'about that since it has almost $100 of yarn in it and it has taken me almost six months to knit' LOL. Actually the actual knitting went rather quick, I'm just always working on a half-dozen projects at a time.

And here's a new picture of the pink and green knitted bowl after I place potpourri in it.

The bowl is gorgeous! I love the green and pink together.
Anxious to see a photo of the finished scarf... I think it just might put me over the edge - I'm going to have to find a cool entrelac pattern. Hmmm maybe a bag...
I am also excited to see a photo of a finished scarf!!
Beautiful bowl and stole. Caan't wait to see the stole after blocking!
I love the bowl. I took a class at the CGOA in Sept on Tunisian Entrelac and I loved it. Of course it was crochet. Is your bowl knit? Thank you again for the beautiful bag. I sent one out to you yesterday, I hope you like it and thank you for being patient with me...
