Making birthday presents

One of my good friends has her birthday today! 23 years old! Congratulations!

I've had a project this year to make the birthday presents to as many as I can handle. Early in the spring I bought a Norwegian magazine called Made by Me. It was a great issue with lot of nice patterns and inspiring ideas. For my friends present I chose a simple Chanel inspired cardigan to crochet.

The first issue was get the yarn I needed. My friend likes dark and rich colours, so I chose a dark purple. What I didn't know was that this was a new and popular colour, and even if I ordered the yarn in a normal good time, I got it three weeks late.. And then I needed some measurements, but since my friend lives a bit far from where I live we don't meet very often.

And today it's her birthday, I got her measurements and yarn, so now I only got to start and finish the present. A bit late, but it's coming.

Thank you for your patience!

Sincerely

Mrs von Kvenna
