*Whew*

Aunt Faye has her gift.. I packed it up in a pretty gift bag (It had purple and blue flowers, and I used light purple tissue paper... A bit too much coordination? Maybe.. but ya know.. she enjoyed it.) I took it up to Thanksgiving (We have a family reunion up in Livingston, Tx) and gave it to her.. Unfortunately Mammy didn't make it so she still hasn't seen what she gave her own sister for her birthday.. but I have a feeling she'll be seeing it eventually.

Aunt Barabra (Aunt Faye's daughter) was pretty jealous.. she said she had planned on making Aunt Faye one of those things before and I beat her to it. HA! I win!!

But really.. Aunt Faye seemed to enjoy the gift.. she kept saying thank-you every time I'd run into her again.. and when she tried it on it really did fit her nice! I'm glad I made the right decision with the massive frogging.

I wanted to have a picture of her wearing it for the official "Finished Project" post.. but I unfortunately didn't remember to take my camera.. I even brought it in our luggage to dad's house.. and I just totally forgot about it when we left for the reunion.. Ugh!

I'm gonna ask Aunt Barabra to take a picture for me and send it to me.. I have a feeling she'll do it ; )

Heh.. After Aunt Faye tried it on she looked like she had been sat on by a large long haired cat.. She said that was ok.. but I thought it was amusing.. I even said "Now you know what my couch looks like"..lol.

I think she really liked it though.. I hope she gets to wear it!

So now all that's left is Melanies Mystery Gift Project.. and Aunt Karen's scarf.. (Of which I still have no pattern..) Does anyone know any good scarf patterns for Lionbrand Homespun? I know the LB site has some patterns.. but they're all boring : / I wish she had let me pick out the yarn... ugh.. Oh well.

I've resumed knitting on Melanies MGP.. I definitely have to get it done by Christmas.. I am not worried. Atleast I enjoy knitting it ; )

Hopefully pictures will be coming soon!

How about the multidirectional scarf for the Homespun? If you goolge, there is a free pattern download...

If you have bouth 32" circulars you can knit up two large sideways knits than stitch them to a center strip that is knit vertically (like most scarves). It looks pretty cool with one-colored yarn and some variagated. the rows'll look like this when you stitch it: sssssvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvsssss

Another bet could be cabling something up quick.

Good luck!
