'Cos I can't post on Facebook 'cos it's meant to be a surprise...
I finished my set that I knitted for my friend Emily's baby!
Not that me and Em are close particularly- we get along fine but we're not very alike- but as I've known her since we were babies, then I never felt too bad about letting the friendship idle for years and then doing something like this. It's too early to tell whether she's having a boy or a girl (I'm sure when she does she'll be dressing it as a Smurf or a marshmallow respectively) but I thought this was rather nice regardless.
In other pictorial news, have also made a passionfruit meringue cake for Easter.
Was rather fiddly (and expensive) but turned out pretty impressive in the end.
