Finally -- snow! And a shawl

We were "waiting" all day it yesterday (it seemed) for the forecasted snow to appear -- it finally did, starting at 2:00 pm.  But thankfully we can still drive our car down the hill!

And when I should have been working on Christmas knitting and crochet projects, I finished the Wast Side Shawl from The Shetland Trader, and used my KnitPicks blocking lace wires for the first time.
The yarn is from The Sanguine Gryphon -- Little Traveler, coming in at a generous 560 yard/4 oz/113 grams - I had 8 grams left.
