Promise kept

Finished the Flower Basket!  As promised, here she is unblocked (color is weird on this picture):

And here she is blocking.

This is for my Aunt Gloria who's a knitter in NH (she lives about 20 min from Patternworks!!).  I have to finish a scarf for my Aunt Ruthann and then I'll package them up and send them off to my Gram to pass out for Christmas.  Funny, looking at the photo I see I need to go back up and straighten out the top.  It looked straight via the naked eye.  Those are four steel knitting needles I bought in Shetland back in '97.   Lord knows I can't knit with them.  I tried with the horsehair belt when I first got home from the trip.  Dang near poked my eye out.  I don't know how the Shetland knitters do it but they do about 200 sts a minute on these bad boys.  They make great blocking wires though!
