Birthday unSurprise!

There's not much surprise left over when the recipient chooses the pattern, picks the yarn, even lends you the needles and then you start to knit it in front of her. I prefer to give things that people really want so it's a no fail method.




The gift was A Good Bias from Interweave Spring 2005, knit with Louisa Harding Kashmir DK (in Olive), a curiously spongy yarn because of its chained structure.



It was a pleasure to make, which is good because it looks like I'll be knitting it again!
