Finally Finished!

The co-worker Christmas presents for 2009 are finally finished ... with two hours to spare! I'm off to shower and meet them for a late lunch, but I thought I'd share the gifties, in their favorite colors:

lovely!

[snarkywench_64]

Thanks, Drox. The recipients seemed to like them, which makes it all good.

Oh, they're so beautiful! I especially love the patterns of the second and fourth scarves. You're so talented!

[snarkywench_64]

Thanks, Kel. **blush** Nah. It's just knitting.

The fourth one is reversible, with the "opposite" pattern on the other side. Wish I'd thought to take a pic of both sides. It was pretty neat.

I can't knit worth a darn -- I'm too easily distracted, and I'm all thumbs -- so I think knitting is a talent.

[snarkywench_64]

In which case, I'll simply say thank you.

Once upon a time, I tried to teach my oldest daughter to knit. I completely understand the distracted part. She lacks patience, too. I don't see knitting in her future.

Wow! Those are gorgeous!

[snarkywench_64]

Thank you, ma'am! I'm relieved they're done.

Patty! *flies through screen in mad glomping hug*

SO lovely to see you here... and what beautiful, beautiful scarves... *delights in the colors and the patterns*

*blows kiss*

Ari! **glomps you back**

I thought of you when I started making these. I was going to take the lime colored yarn and adapt the reversible cable border from the Cardigan for Arwen, widening it to make a scarf. But I gave up ... I kept adding stitches to make it wider because the cables "sucked up" the width. But the more I added the more it seemed to shrink ... sigh.

Those are beautiful! *hugs you

Thanks, Annie! **squooshes you**
