i like the shrug & my not-SIL has been hinting for a shrug...
i was wondering if it might be nice for my mom too. she's
always chilly, but i'm not sure if a shrug is easy for an
arthritic person to put on? maybe i should stick to making her
a nice shawl?

A shawl would be nice, but if your Mom doesn't have trouble putting on a
sweater she should be okay with putting on a shrug. I guess it depends on
the extent of the arthritis, and how badly it's flairing up at the time of
trying to put something on.

i also think Elliott the Dragon would find a nice home with
Boo... i wonder if he'd be simple enough for Boo to make
himself?

I just had another look at Elliot the Dragon... he *looks* simple enough
(looks like straight knitting, but looks can be deceiving I guess), and he
is done on straight needles... the seam must be on the back where the fin
is. He may need a little assistance around the mouth area though.. not sure
how they did that. Elliot *is* cute though! ;o)

*hugs*
