Handmade Holidays #2

My friend Amanda at work knit this scarf for me as a Christmas gift and made one for our boss as well. This is so soft and warm and just the right length, I love it!! She made a beautiful black chenille scarf for our boss. I felt like she really captured our personalities when she picked out the yarn. What I love most about making handmade gifts is that while you are making them you are thinking about the person that you are giving it to, and I believe those intentions are sewn/knit/crafted right into the final product. I really feel that in this scarf, and I think of Amanda when I wear it. Thank you Amanda!!

I agree completely; a handmade gift carries a whole extra dimension of kindness and care! Looks like that beauty will be keeping you nice and warm for a long, long time.
