A Handmaiden's Christmas Tale

Santa was clearly not paying attention to the gloomy economy prognostications when he visited chez fleegle this year.

Having fallen in love with Susan Pandorf's magnificent designs, Roy took it upon himself to order the yarn required to complete three of her shawls. And then he added some more stuff for emergencies because he's a prince, **supreme panjandrum** of a husband.

Handmaiden Seasilk in Mermaid, for the Iris Scarf:


Handmaiden Seasilk in Poinsettia, for the Poinsettia scarf:


Handmaiden Seasilk in Pale Autumn, for the Zinnia scarf:


And a few non-assigned skeins of Seasilk.

Pumpkin:



Blackberry:


Fleur:

Renaissance:


Some Jojoland Melody for lace:





An exquisite skein of Art Yarns Beaded Silk Rhapsody:


And, just in case I get overwhelmed with complex lace beading, a simple shawl kit from Colinette:



And finally, to keep me warm while I am playing with all this lovely stash, a cashmere bathrobe:


Harry watched the unwrapping process with a furtive, avaricious look in his eyes. He became profoundly depressed when he saw that, along with the stash enhancement, came some first-class SWAT-designed stash protection. Sitting proudly atop the chain-locked, police-taped plastic box, is a spray can of BUG REPELLENT! Merry Christmas, Harry!


I hope you all enjoyed your holiday as much as I did!
