Giving away what you'd like to keep
I've always thought that wishing you could keep something for yourself that you bought (or made) for a gift is a good sign you've chosen well. A couple of weeks ago, I finished this little scarf I intend for a gift. And I think it's turned out rather well.
I won't get to give it to its recipient for a while, so thus this picture of me.
I think there's enough of the yarn left to knit another scarf if I reverse the colors. Maybe that one can be mine, or maybe it'll be another gift. By the way, if you're reading this, the scarf pictured isn't for you -- sorry. The colors are prettier in person, and the yarn is altogether fabulous. The pattern is just interesting enough, and well written. Maybe I'll get better pictures, in better light, when I give it to its intended wearer. What do you think? A good gift?

That is incredibly beautiful and unique! Love it.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful gift! Your recipient is a lucky one.
ReplyDeleteI know the feeling! I made a quilt for Piper - Tree of Life in autumn and spring colors. I love it so much, I have to make one to keep!
