I just realized that I had a dream about the shawl. In my dream, I saw it finished, probably not as it's going to actually look. But the one in my dream was very interesting.

Re: MMario and his crocheting... the first Getaway I attended, I wasn't sure how I was going to tell MMario, Big Mick, and Jed Marum apart since they looked so similar in their pictures (same hair color, same hair style, same facial hair, etc). MMario was the first of the three that I saw. I knew it was him right away because he was sitting in a song circle, his hands busily working away with his crochet hook and something beautiful and lacy.
