[Nfb-krafters-korner] FQ: Hand-crafted gifts madeby youverseshand-crafted gifts you purchase

[linda]

Eileen,

What high praise when someone is able to use something they have shared!  I
am glad you like the little bag - I love them and have made a dozen for this
year!

Speaking of face warmers, are these the helmet liners?  Do you have the
pattern that you could share with me?

I hope you can get the bags done in time, they will be a big hit!

Blessings, 
Ninn

I thought I wasn't giving out anything I made this year, but thanks to Ninn 
and the intarsia gift bags I will be giving a present in the little knitted 
gift bag that came out oh so cute!!  I purchased a tiny little porcelain 
violin for my violin instructor and along with some home made butter scotch 
brownies I made that actually turned out good, I'm going to put them in the 
little gift bag and that will be her Christmas present.

If time allows over the next two weeks, I'm going to knit up one of the 
military hats/face warmers as a present for a brother-in-law that is our 
fall-back tech support when computers crash and we can't get things running 
on our own.  I thought that when he's doing snow removal at their home the 
hat with built in face warmer would be perfect for him.

Eileen
