A million stitches per row, on tiny needles, and you never can figure out what's going on until the end so one slip up sends you into nowhere.purple-powerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07020541712074673527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8137043855524820338.post-71823975574739163382009-08-08T18:26:11.344+01:002009-08-08T18:26:11.344+01:00Happy 2nd blogiversary and what a riot of color.

They were simple to make, I had all the supplies in my stash, and I didn't think too much about them. But the mom-to-be (expecting twins this fall) loved them so much. She couldn't believe I actually made her something. Now I can't wait for them to pick names so I can make her a personalized set!Karamathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10078461282785458401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8137043855524820338.post-87327988131051888972009-08-05T20:00:14.813+01:002009-08-05T20:00:14.813+01:00what a beautiful blog name you have. helene is my ...what a beautiful blog name you have. helene is my middle name :)christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10115517992880481373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8137043855524820338.post-63889190255368020722009-08-05T18:59:17.670+01:002009-08-05T18:59:17.670+01:00Congrats on 2 years!

Oh well and what the heck, I suppose I’d also better mention my O Level needlework project as well; a beige boucle jacket, with very 1980s HUGE ‘Dynasty’ shoulder pads! All my friends were soooo jealous at the time! ;) It got me a Grade B though! :))Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00791644656561286378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8137043855524820338.post-25721628030492638632009-08-04T18:11:22.546+01:002009-08-04T18:11:22.546+01:00Lovely yarn, great colors.
