I've posted pictures of the other gift I knitted for someone for Christmas on my website. It's a felted sheep and is it darling! (My site, in case you don't know it and came to this blog another way is: www.prattlebox.com) That was fun to make, I hadn't experienced wrap/turns before so it was a nice challenge. You should check it out - if you liked felted animals you might want to make it. I've listed the reference to the book I got the pattern from on the site.
Well, I started my SD's birthday present last night and I love the yarn but I can't give details or pics until I'm done, darn it. The yarn is awesome to work with, it's a super chunky in cashmerino. Her birthday is in March so it will have to wait no matter what, now that I think of it.
Oh, I also bought some yarn to make a neck cozy. I received one for Christmas (I'll get a pic out to the website this week) and now I want to make one! It's so cool. Think neck warmer but very elegant and tasteful, it can be dressy or casual. I think it is absolutely cool. You really need to see it up close to see the detail, it's so pretty. The yarn is Koigu, a premium merino and it's so soft you can't even tell it's wool. Note: the pattern is exclusive to patternworks.com, you have to call them to get the pattern, it's free when you purchase the yarn.
Ok, back to work - have a great day!
Here are pics of the neck cozy, note that the color is really more of a grape jelly color, this shows it lighter than it is.
