Not much I can show right now -- at least until after the Christmas gifts have been received -- but I can show a fun shawl I made.
The chilly days require a little extra to keep a body warm -- so I made up (crocheted) a nice soft, warm, cozy shawl. The top photo shows it finished -- I omitted the fringe the pattern called for -- don't like dangly stuff around my hands/wrists when I am typing, etc. This is a free pattern from Lion Brand Yarn -- if you would like the pattern, click HERE. There is also a free pattern for the knitted version.
I like this one so much I already have about 12 inches done on a second.

Warm and cozy!
Ooooh! That looks toasty to me.
I didn't know you could change the name of your blog! (I'm always learning something new here...not gonna knit though...I'm a crochet girl)...
Nice Jackie! and I think we are going to need a little something extra on our shoulders this winter! Would be nice to take along to a resteraunt. You never know what to expect there!
Amy & Arline -- thanks for dropping by -- it is always fund to stop by your blogs and I'm happy you visit here too.
BB -you can change the name of the blog but not the address -- I should have added crochetin' too -- but not enough room, LOL.
Carol -- what a great idea to take to the restaurant -- I usually freeze there -- will put one in my little tote next time. I started another one tonight in denim blues --- should go well with jeans, etc.
Very nice!!! Hope you're enjoying the season! :D
Hi Jackie...I haven't swung by in awhile. Your shawl looks warm and cozy! But I really love the socks you've been knitting too...they are great!!! I've always wanted to try socks but I haven't because the gusset always scares me off! Good for you to teach yourself...looks to me like you've got it down pat!
Your gifts from Maggie and Lynn are beautiful! What thoughtful friends...I'm sure they brought a smile to your face!
If I don't get back by before the holiday...Merry Christmas to you and yours!!! ~Lisa ;-)
Beautiful shawl, Jackie. Just make sure you don't give up your bead work. I miss your posts on the group.
