Technically the birthday is passed. It was the first of the month and while the gift itself wasn't complete I did send a beautiful photo of it still on the needles and it was well received. Then I knit like the wind to finish it. Hauling it with me every where to work on. This blanket has been to: Portland and back on the train Four hockey games Three bars And to my office every day for the past two weeks. It's done. I bound it off yesterday at lunch.

A cup cozy that I handed off to a friend A teeny tiny hat for a new baby.
