Last lace of 2005 - ready to block


I finally finished the last lace project of 2005 , only to discover that I had forgotten to bring pins for blocking! Still, I managed to smooth it out and stretch it slightly. There's now the small matter of sewing a few ends in and then I'll need to send it on it's way to it's intended recipient.

It's been a family joke for years that one of our relatives will always give you a gift saying - well if you don't like it just give it back to me and I'll give you the cash instead. This is going to be one of those gifts that I'd be quite happy to own for myself.

What a beautiful scarf. I hope you enjoyed your Christmas. We've had a peaceful time apart from when DD was singing alone to one song repeatedly on her new MP3 player on Christmas Day - she's a talented girl in many ways but not vocally!

That's a beautiful scarf so I can understand why you'd be happy to have it back. I've just given a scarf to a friend for Christmas (although nowhere near as much work went into it) and really didn't want to give it away so I'm going to have to make one for myself in the new year. ~Sharon J
