I'm with you on Feb Lady. I avoided it for the longest time because I knew it wouldn't be flattering. I'm not sure why I suddenly thought that it would change. I think it was the enticement of the lace and something interesting to do on the sweater.

A shawl might be nice in the Manos. It's got a nice, soft drape to it, so I think it would be a comfy shawl. :)

Re:Comic Con, thanks. You will be missed, but I'll be posting lots of pics. You can feel like you were there, just without being squished and grabbed. :)

I'm probably going to ECCC next March in Seattle now with maiea,crimsonquills and tartary_lamb. I'm told that it's still fairly comic related and much less crowded. :)
