Not-the-Sock

I had to show off this very cool gift I got from my hubby for my birthday. He also made it... out of sterling silver. It's a Queen Pin for my shawls... a nice, graceful, large and beautiful Q to hold my knits together. I can't bear to tuck it away in the jewelry box when I'm not wearing it, so I display it on the handwoven shawl that's draped over one door of an armoire. Don't you think queenpins are much better than kingpins?
