I received email from Lion Brand about a new yarn, and it had a link to this lovely textured shawl pattern:

I love the yarn colors, however, I especially like the texture. My preference would be for a stole shape, but that would be easy to do just working from a book of stitches and patterns--no pattern needed. I can also see this color made up into a textured baby sweater and blankie.

Oops...drooling on my keyboard again. I keep promising to crochet myself a bib for the times when I go 'net surfing...but always take a detour to the chocolate stash and totally forget that particular promise-to-self.

Drooling is good. As long as you clean up the mess. I love the color to very pretty. Next week I get to spend my saved yarn stashed money ( out of the cookie jar) might just buy some.

You are so funny. I like your sense of humour.. I need a screen that automatically senses that I am going to laugh so hard I spew sweet coffee at the screen and all over my keyboard from reading something funny. Seems like someone could invent something like that. My keys stick because I can't get all the sugary stuff from the keyboard sometimes.
Love you remark about the chocolate. Coffee is my #1 "chocolate".

God bless and stop drooling. I save my drools for Tom Selleck!

With all the instances I've heard about from friends who spill on their keyboards, it seems surprising that some company hasn't come out with a liquid-proof keyboard as a selling point. I've seen plastic keyboard covers but don't know if they make them for keyboards for laptops. I tried one once and it kind of impeded by typing speed and felt a little awkward. Maybe a plastic veil over the face would be a better option. Then I could just walk outside and clean up with the garden hose....

Washable keyboards have been available for 10 years+ just they are a pain to use and are very expensive so they never took off, they even make them that roll up.

Are they washable or are they safe if a quantity of liquid is spilled on them?

I tried one in a store; not made for anyone who touch-types. Only good for the hunt-and-peck crowd.

I like the idea of the way it's constructed. I haven't seen a shawl made that way before. Another one on my to-do list!
