I am surrounded by many crafty people.  Two of my birthday presents involved knitting, a craft I have not allowed myself to get into.  There is just not enough time to try everything that looks like fun to do.

A scarf, knit by Carol, my mother-in-law

Carol spent Christmas in Minnesota and learned to knit.  Then she decided to make scarves for all of her girls.  Mine looks fabulous with my red coat.  This yarn is a special kind that creates the ruffle affect as you knit.

A cuff bracelet, knit by Pete's sister, Molly

Molly actually might have meant it as a Christmas present.  Either way, when I saw her making one in October I told her I would love to have one.  I love having a piece of jewelry made by someone else.  Not store-bought.  One-of-a-kind:)
