Homemade Gifts

This month I celebrate the anniversary of two of my friends passing through the birth canal:
Bonnie and K.t.

My lucky friends get the best gifts.  I hand knit this shawl in 3 hours (huge needles and doubling the yarn).  It was supposed to be one side of a large tote bag but upon completion of this side, I pooped out, sewed the sides together and made a shawl.

I also made her necklaces and the purple, web bracelet.


Hand made gifts are the best but you have to make sure the recipient is someone who can appreciate the thought and uniqueness of the piece.  I still have sweaters my mommy made me in elementary.
