Chloe, yo...Thank you all for your nice comments! <br /><br />Chloe, you obviously did not look closely at those older pictures - LOL But I do try and eat right and exercise (I jog 3 days a week and avoid restaurant and/or prepackaged foods). It must be a special friend if you are going to make her a shawl ~ warm tones are generally best on blonds :) <br /><br />Kristen, I love your suggestion of painting a face on the pumpkin ~ thank you!Mr Puffy's Knitting Blog:https://www.blogger.com/profile/10129149473915655930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5959066417173104882.post-19773071446115196752011-10-25T09:23:34.933-07:002011-10-25T09:23:34.933-07:00What a pretty shawl.

I love stripy shawls these days and want to get cracking on finishing one and starting another.<br /><br />You are such a nice wife to ride on a motorcycle for such a long trip. I complain when the top is down on my husband's convertible! And I agree with you about the southwest, the colors are so inspiring.<br /><br />Instead of carving Simcha's pumpkin why don't you paint on a face? He might really like that! Lastly, great pictures.Kristen Rettighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00176342218828307690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5959066417173104882.post-14486427281417890922011-10-24T23:34:57.401-07:002011-10-24T23:34:57.401-07:00The shawl is lovely, and the colors also remind me...The shawl is lovely, and the colors also remind me of the southwest. <br /><br />We took a summer road trip many years ago with a similar route that started in the SF bay area and went through Arizona, Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and returning via Palm Springs. It was in a Toyota Camry that did not have air conditioning. Since then, every car I've owned has had air conditioning!<br /><br />I think we're going to Santa Fe again this summer, but this time we're flying to Albuquerque to start.bettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15302679114750034953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5959066417173104882.post-85499743852773642732011-10-24T19:05:07.957-07:002011-10-24T19:05:07.957-07:00Love those blast from the past photos :) Gorgeous ...Love those blast from the past photos :) Gorgeous shawl; reminds me of a pattern I made a few years ago when I was still knitting!!

What's your secret? Besides being a lovely shawl, it was particularly interesting to me because I am planning on knitting a southwest colors shawl for a dear friend who lives in that area. I also wanted the colors to look good on her, and since she is also a blonde, your shawl is setting me in a very good direction. Hmmm. Simcha and his pumpkin. Will there be a pumpkin recipe in our blog-reading future?<br /><br />ChloeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5959066417173104882.post-46082478609924039572011-10-24T10:27:15.083-07:002011-10-24T10:27:15.083-07:00That shawl is incredibly beautiful!
