Ok, first of all, if you are named Helen or Susan AND you are my SISTER, do NOT (NOT!!!!)read this post! Unless you are a grinch! And like to ruin surprises!!
If you are not either of my sisters, carry on...

So, I've mailed off the holiday gifties and 2 out of 3 knitting projects were among them! For both sisters, I knit the Wavy Flower Hat from Pick Up Sticks, one in black with purple trim & flower, and one in olive with a rosey trim and flower. I only have a picture of the olive one, so use your imagination on the other. My non-grinchy sisters are certain to take a picture of teh two of them together intheir hats and send it to me.
The Olive Wavy Flower
Now, both sisters are getting accompanying gifts within the next couple months, not really for xmas, but just 'cause I love them and we are far apart these days. Susan will be getting Frida, but in wrap form, and Helen will be getting glampyre's City Shawl.
I have one other holiday surprise, but I have a bit of time since Hanukkah lasts until January 2.
You know what the most stressful part about getting those hats knitted and felted up and sent off for Christmas was? Finding a box into which to fit them! They finally got wrapped in Winterhook boxes. It was quite the challenge to get the wrapping paper round those boxes too, but I'm sure my lovely siblings will forgive my, er....creative wrapping.

What great presents! How'd you like knitting the City Shawl? I was thinking of making that sometime this spring. And I love the idea of making Frida as a wrap! I'm a cabling fool this week trying to finish Dad's Irish Hiking Scarf. I'm so glad you and Scout encouraged me to try cables they so rock.

the wavy flower hat is really cute!!

I adore the wavy flower hat! Your sisters will, too. I've had my eye on Frida for ages, and I think a wrap version will be so much more wearable. So I can't wait to see what you do with it. :)
