FO Alert!!


Okay...it's done! What do you think?

I'm still trying to find a pair of sunglasses for it, you know it'll need it when it gets to Florida!

Did you know that in Florida it's not a veranda, patio, sundeck/deck, porch or balcony...it's called a 'lanai'? Here in SW Virginia it's a deck! Anyway, I'm sure it'll be living on the lanai when it gets home...MIL has it decorated really nice. I know it may seem funny to make such a gift for my MIL but she's so hard to find or make a gift for. I can't make a sweater, shawl, scarf, mittens, socks or felted purse-already made her one of these...because of the FL weather. So knowing she likes unusual-crafty things when I saw the pattern I figured it would be fun to make. I wasn't wrong, these Fiber Trend patterns are so much fun to make, now I just need to bring my "sheepy" out of the bottom of the basket and finish it!

Keep on Knittin' & Spinnin'!!!

You'll HAVE to share the shaded flamingo if you can find sunglasses. SO funny!

Birdsong said...

What a great gift! I bet she will be delighted and you did an awesome job.

Dana said...

GORGEGOUS! Your flamingo is amazing and you did an incredible job on it.

Sunglasses - - the "build a bear" sections of both A.C. Moore and Michaels have all kinds of great little things (that's where I got Miss Chicken's spectacles).

Again, he's lovely Robin!

Hi Robin -- love the Flamingo! I couldn't figure out what it was, even with your last WIP picture. Now I get it! Great job!

Oh, and they call it a "lanai" in Hawaii, too.
