I finished a lot of knitting while she was here. I finished a top in her size which I was test knitting. Then I also finished a scarf -- another of Chrissy's creations. (As far as I know these haven't been added to her website yet.) I had knit a foot or so of the scarf as test knitting -- with Wool-Ease Dark Rose Heather. My DD liked it so well that she asked me whether I'd be so kind as to make the whole scarf for her.
My DD also loved the Swan Lake stole. So, I gave her both Chrysopolis and Swan Lake.
It's not as though I'll run out of stoles. Besides Bad Nauheim, dem-Fisher-sin-Fru, and Secret II, I've also joined the Spring Surprise shawl KAL. I think I'm going overboard with knitting shawls. It is addicting.

The flowers next to the chart are from my DS1's girlfriend and her mother as a Thanksgiving present. They are such nice people.
The cats and the rest of us miss DD a lot. The cats were so sad to see her leave that they didn't eat their evening meal. They did join us at the table for some left-over turkey, though.
Finally, the charity baby blanket is going along well. I really like how it is turning out.

Your Chrysopolis is gorgeous. I might have to re-think my decision to not knit it. The centre medallion is incredible. Well done!
Thank you for the compliment. I agree about the medallion. I really like how the medallion is centered on the back with stockinette over the shoulders and the rest of the lacy bits in front.
