Early gift giving...

Here's a very happy co-worker proudly posing with her new cabled scarf. Linda has been so kind and supportive that I wanted to knit something special for her. She lived and raised her kids in Ireland, so I thought cables would be just perfect for her. I was really moved when she told me: "You know, I haven't had something knitted just for me since I was a little girl" and gave me a big heartfelt hug. She said her mother was a great lady and was very crafty, but unfotunately she hasn't inherited her talent. I think Linda has other talents just as valuable...

Lizzie's blanket is finished

Just a quick update: finished Lizzie's blanket, and even had some leftover to make a scarf for her two-legged, my niece.

Blanket...

Here's a picture of Pico's blanket (of course no loose ends were included). It looks a bit washed out, and the red doesn't really show well on here, but overall I really like this colorway. In fact, I had chosen this yarn for a sweater for Pico's owner. The pattern I had chosen had a huge argyle pattern in the front which I chose not to do. Unfortunately, I forgot to compensate for the argyle and purchase extra balls to complete the sweater....... Oh well, it's Pico's gain! I'm sure Sandra doesn't mind.

Next blanket is for Lizzie...
