Now, most of you are thinking: "Your MECHANIC!?"
But, you must know one key fact to understand my relationship to my mechanic. My late husband used to own an Alfa Romeo.
We got to know our mechanic REAL WELL. In fact, I know the shop's phone number by heart. When we were married, Mike (our mechanic) INSISTED that I allow him to drive me to my wedding in a vintage (1953) Jaguar.
So, when I found out his son just had a girl - I dug around in my library and through my stash and came up with this:
Cotton yarn that I plan to use for the bonnet and booties as well - if the stash supply holds up.I've gotten about twice as much lace right now. Made a quick stop to Michaels for some really nice ribbon and a lined basket to use as a gift box.
Unfortunately, they already have my car fixed, so I'm not going to be able to give it too them when I pick it up. :-(
I have about 7 or so projects already on the needles that I'm pretty much ignoring. This gave me a GREAT reason to start something new and get back to the knitting.
