I just couldn't help myself - I mean, it's GORGEOUS! And I was sure that I could find something to do with it. Well, sometimes love just isn't enough. And gorgeous yarn without a pattern is just a lovely skein in my stash.
Thankfully, through the wonders of Ravelry, I found this pattern. And turned one of these lovely skeins into a beautiful scarf for my Mom. (Yes, this is in fact another story about unfinished Christmas gifts.)
I put this in the mail this week, along with Abbey's mittens. And with that I officially succeeded in accomplishing one of my New Year's resolutions before the end of January.
Maggie, that is GORGEOUS!! Your mom is quite the lucky woman ... and congratulations, new Auntie!!
ReplyDeleteAmazing yet again! I'd like to request a special knitting/crocheting session with you in March (that's when I'm done with classes). I'm serious. Your mum will treasure such a lovely, albeit late, gift :)
