I did manage to knit and sew a little bit over my holiday break from work.  The Ella shawl is coming along nicely.  I've decided to make it in the traditional triangular shape because I'm pretty sure I don't have enough yarn to make it the way the pattern calls for.  I'm on the fourth repeat of section two.  I'm thinking that I'll do a fifth repeat and then possibly half of another one.  Actually, I should probably just make it the size that uses up all the yarn I have.  Here is my progress thus far:
