Recently many of you commented on homemade gifts which you are making for Christmas. There were many great ideas-- jars of homemade cocoa, boot cuffs, cowls, dishcloths, gloves, an afghan, potholders, hats, and scarves.
Since I finished up with the hat I was knitting, except for the pom pom on top, I decided to knit a cowl to go along with it. I picked up some Bernat Roving wool with one of my 40 percent off coupons, and one skein worked perfectly for the Grace Jones cowl pattern that I used. I'll be sure to get some pictures of both finished, if the sun ever decides to pop out again.
I would often agree with Kathleen Grace who said, "I think handmade gifts are the best."
I enjoy your blog and the photography is great! Maybe someday I will get a decent camera :).
ReplyDeleteI spy EZ's Almanac. Here is a giggle for you: I use it sometimes but I have to change the months, so right now I wouldn't knit a December project, I'd knit a June one.
ReplyDeleteThat's very cute! I like the pattern!
ReplyDeleteI bet sitting down to knit feels so comforting
