Its my Great nieces birthday so I made her a can can scarf in lovely shades of jade, purple and blue, it was very quick to knit up and I did enjoy my first step back into knitting for about 20 years!!!. When deciding on a card for her I decided to carry on the colour theme and I scanned the scarf onto my computer and printed out the result using it as backing paper. I used a Sugarnellie stamp and coloured her with promarkers (and yes I did need to buy 2 new ones!!) and trimmed the card with a section of the knitting yarn. I even made the box!!!!!! So all in all I did it "my way" I just hope she likes it
Thanks for looking and feel free to comment (cos then I know you have been)
