I really think a simple ribbon is all the wrapping a small handknit gift needs. It lets the focus be on the Handknit :) A couple of gifts off the handmade list for two very special friends whose birthdays are at the end of the month...
For Shelley: a long, squishy scarf in greens and blues...
For Kathy: a soft, drapey plum-colored cowl (sorry it looks more grape in the pic, but it really is plum)...
And for me: the softest cloud of a shawl, that can be worn bunched and wrapped as a big, cozy scarf...
Or as an airy shawl...
Because I knit these all a while ago, I got careless and threw away the yarn labels and put the needles away (there's already enough clutter with current and wanna-be wip's that I hate to leave stuff lying around from the finished ones.)
But the patterns are all freebies, so here ya go:
Happy Knitting and Gifting!!!
I think all three are gorgeous, but what do I know, I'm cazy... ;o)
ReplyDeleteThese are all great Staci! I've been knitting quite a bit lately as well.
ReplyDeleteWow Staci, you've been busy!! I love them all (I really like the white one - it's so pretty)!
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful, all of them!
ReplyDeleteLovely gift ideas. That cowl is just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHi, dear Staci!

What wonderful gifts! I love the plum colored piece!
ReplyDeleteOh that cowl just makes me melt! It's all lovely, but that looks lusciously cozy and comfy!
ReplyDeleteThey look GREAT!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty. I'm LOVING the cowl. It's gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteAnd grape/plum... eh, not such a big problem. It's all in the purple family.
The shawl looks fabulous too. Oh, who am I kidding, your knitting is gorgeous! Go you. :)

They are all just lovely. Makes me want to pull out my needles and give knitting a try again. Take care.
ReplyDeleteYour knitted gifts are just lovely - I'm trying hard to knit some gifts just now but I keep changing my mind and then I get nothing finished!
ReplyDeleteAll absolutely neat and charming, but the white piece is my fave! Lovely! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat weekend for you!
all so pretty. They will be adored
ReplyDeleteHi Staci,
ReplyDeleteTasteful and beautiful. The
ribbon accents the real star
which is the scarf and the
cowl. What more do you need?
The shawl/scarf that you're
keeping for yourself is just
lovely and so versatile since
it can be two different garments.
Does Santa have you on his
payroll??
Cheers!
All three are gorgeous but I especially love the cowl!
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely gifts! I love recieving anything tied up with a pretty ribbon! x x
