Okay, you can see how floored I was by Aven's generosity.

I used the word "nice" three times in about as many sentences. Normally I hate the word "nice," it's such a broad, mediocre word.

I will say that when I opened the box and found out what it was and from whom, I said, out loud to my empty house, "Aven, you rock!" So maybe that's a more appropriate thanks.

In other news, I'm working away on the side panels of the Hiawatha shawl. One of these days a picture will appear. (As soon as I transport at least one of my partially-filled disks back home so I can take more pictures).
