a peek at toons late bd present......

I thought I would take the time to tease toon about her late birthday present. I had no idea it would take me sooooo long to complete. But alas, part of it is done! Now to start on the other half. Unfortunately, when I cast on for the second part, I accidentally broke my precious birch needle in half. Because of this I went ahead and spent some money on some very expensive, but fancy metal needles. Now I have to wait for them to be shipped before I can continute with the present. I was hoping to be done before the summer months.......


I thought I would give toon a sneak peek because I feel bad.....


So toon....this one's for you!

See all those tiny tiny stitches? Aren't they pretty?

To get a feel for what I had to go through in knitting this I give you the following instructions:

1. Go to the kitchen and open up your junk cupboard.

2. Grab your container of toothpicks and remove 5.

3. Now, dig out some sewing thread.

4. Wrap 80 knots around one toothpick.

5. Take 2 more toothpicks and divide these 80 knots onto three toothpicks in an even amount.

6. Take the remaining toothpick and start knitting away.

7. Three years from now, your present would be completed and you can happily display how it does not fit.
