A Successful FNSI


Yesterday, I finished sewing down the binding on a throw quilt for my niece...


...not a Christmas present but a belated college graduation gift...  that I want to give her over the holidays.



I also did some more knitting on the crimson scarf for my grandson.


This is one skein... not sure how long I want to make it yet...


...but I need to factor in the fringe... no... the tassels!   *lol*   I would like the scarf to be more an adult size... and hope it lasts for a while...

  9. I'll bet it feels great to finish the quilt for your niece. I'm sure she's going to love such a bright, happy quilt.

    The scarf for your grandson is coming right along... and you're right the rows of garter stitch do add a wonderful looking texture to the scarf.
