Well, finally I have a new router, or router-network thing ... or whatever it's called. All I know is: I can now upload JPGs without crashing! AND ... everything seems to be faster.
It wasn't a birthday gift (Birthday just past) but I'm accepting it as such. And now all interference seems to be gone, and there are no reasons I can't post on my blog. With no excuses, I guess I should get moving. Oh ... and I should show you my OTK (or is that OTH?) shawl. I'm crocheting it and am around the half-way point. After the shawl itself is finished, I will have to crochet around the outside with almost 3,000 beads. Yeah, I know. Anyway I ordered the beads yesterday, and they should be arriving within the week. I figure it should take me about a week to thread all those beads on my yarn. (If anyone has a suggestion about how to keep those beads, once on the yarn, from tangling beyond repair, please let me know.)
The shawl called for size 10 crochet cotton, but I decided I'd use some mohair I received as a gift from Matty (from the gang at Panera's), so it will be a little larger than stated. That's good though ... since *I* am a little larger as well!
Information about the shawl: Viceroy Butterfly Shawl, Created and Designed by Kathryn A. White. www.crochetnbeads.com. The pattern is really easy to follow, done in filet crochet, and when I e-mailed her a question, her answer arrived in under a half hour. Now how's that for service? I saw the shawl for the first time on Ravelry, and purchased it from her on Etsy.

Alice the shawl looks amazing! And, belated Happy Birthday!!!
Have you considered crocheting the beads on 1 at a time rather than stringing them? I knit a shawl that used that method.
