The jewelry was a big hit – nobody guessed that I had made it! Actually, my mom liked it so much that we spent the afternoon and evening making more jewelry…I think I’ve created a monster. :)
I just realized that since I’m a godmother, I should have celebrated mother’s day, too! Plus, I’m a puppy mom. That should count for something. Actually, my mom gave me a mother’s day present – a book about quilting and a pretty little pillow wallhanging that is dripping with ribbon embroidery and lace.
Oh, and that little tiny ball of gray yarn was enough to finish the top part of the shawl. I think I ended up with about two yards to spare. So, now I just have to pick up 339 stitches along the bottom edge and knit the border – which ends up being 691 stitches when all is said and done. Yikes!
