It was the 9th inning but I got er done.
This is the Black n Grey I made my Dad’s Girlfriend Chris.
Didn’t it turn out pretty? I was super pleased with it and I am pretty sure she is too!
I won’t get into the drama that was involved getting this thing blocked in time for the trek to Dad’s for Christmas or what it took to re-purchase supplies to finish it off….
Ugly black spiders were involved.
eeeek.
It’s one leaf less than my original one and I think it’s finally perfect.
It doesn’t hurt that it’s knitted with Berroco Alpaca.
Pathetically, it was my one handmade Christmas gift this year.
Amazingly, I handmade one Christmas gift this year.
So pleased I got it done!
Spiders and all.

I love it- its very pretty! This is the first year in a long time that I haven’t been making things right down to the wire- I think its because of that month off of work I had this fall after my surgery
Next year will likely be the same as the others!

yup, I bet your down time was very helpful.
I’ll have a lot more of it this year too so I can’t wait to see what I can crank out!
maybe I’ll have my holiday knits done by March!
