I am still finishing up a scarf for my dearest friend Rose and one for my hubby. His had to make a mid-knitting pattern change to accommodate the yarn. Those photos should be posted by the weekend.

The final photo isn’t a gift for someone else. It was a gift for me.

I received this from Melanie, my Tea and Thee Swap partner on Christian Artisans. Melanie gave me the gift of spinning. She gave me all the tools to learn how to spin. Won’t it be totally cool to knit yarn that I actually spun!! And isn’t that a lovely stocking that she knitted. The cables are exquisite and the yarn is very soft. The other goodies were fun too. Melanie was a fun secret pal and I am looking forward to getting to know her better now that she isn’t a secret.

Okay, I am through posting photos for a while. Please excuse the lack of actual photography skills. The knitting is much better.
