Better Late than Never

It was my sister's birthday August 1.  She will receive her gift this weekend as we celebrate Thanksgiving.


I know it is over two months late but this year I really wanted to knit her something.  To be truthful, I had meant to knit her something for Christmas last year but that didn't happen.  I am not a terribly fast knitter so here it is October.  Besides, wouldn't you rather receive a hand knit scarf in October?  I though so.


I am a little concerned that she won't like the scarf.  She and I have such different tastes.  If that is the case, I just may have a new scarf for the fall and I will have the opportunity to knit a new pattern.



Should I admit how long it took me to figure out how to take my picture in this scarf using a mirror outside? Several minutes.  I couldn't see how to take the picture without the camera being in the picture.  Then suddenly, I saw the light.  It wasn't as difficult as it had seemed a few minutes ago.



For those of you interested, the pattern is Guernsey Wrap by Jared Flood.

    Gorgeous Tara! I love handmade scarves...I've received a couple over the years as gifts and they really are an awesome gift...I'm sure she will love it.

    Gosh Thanksgiving already...after living so long in the US now, I always seem to forget how early Canadian Thanksgiving is. Hope you have a lovely time.

    I always love to knit for people as gifts but, like you, also fear they won't like it. Having said that, it's a stunning scarf and I can't imagine why she wouldn't adore it. Worse case...you got yourself something to keep you warm. I love all the detail. Great job. xo

    I'm sure she'll love it! Hand knitted items are impossible not to love.
    I laughed at the picture part b/c I'm putting the Necks to Nature necklace on tomorrow for Teatime Tuesday. I decided to take a picture of it on a book! Too hard while wearing. . .
    Truly, this is lovely.

    It's very beautiful! She will love it - if not for the style, then for the time and love that went into it's making! Well done!
