Sixteen bottles of vino, one pot of valium, seventy cups of coffee and one happy family!!!!!!!!!
So this evening I am putting the finishing touches to 160 cookies (well I couldn't make all those and not leave any for my gannets!) and sewing a button on a bag!
But I did manage to make this little number that I am proud of! I knitted this in Karabella Festival wool which is really fun if not a little tricky.

Wow! I am exhausted just reading it, never mind having to do that lot!! Love the scarf. Grandma will soon be redundant in the knitting department.
