\"Octans<\/p>

My friend Leslie (Blueeyedcrafty) told me that as long as I was writing a rectangular pattern for afghans, I should figure out the sizes for a few rectangular shawls.\u00a0 My main excitement was the 8 pointed star that short row slides enable.<\/a><\/p>

I finished the sample in the autumn.\u00a0 I’d made a dress to match my shawl with grey top stitching to match the silver.\u00a0 We had an overcast day and our daughter was at tutoring at the library.\u00a0 Dan took off from work early to take photos.\u00a0 A\u00a0 new dress, kids elsewhere, a project to do with Dan?\u00a0 Totally a date.<\/span><\/p>
