my first sweater revisited

Today, I got home and there was a package in my doorway. Quickly scanning my brain, I couldn't remember ordering anything. I had a small hope that a chili friend I had harrassed had sent the spices I wanted then half way up the steps, I remembered. My friend sent me a package!!! I rushed inside and opened it.



Travel goodies! I love them!!! That's a bear with body wash and lotion (soy and white tea I'd like to add), a jewelry box, a luggage tag, a beautiful card and a picture of her grandbaby wearing the sweater I made her. I know, it's hard to see but she's there. I'm going to try to remember to take the pictures up to Mom's to get her to scan them in so I can show you better but for tonight that's all you get (the picture will enlarge if you click it).

If you go back here you can see where I finished the sweater and finally found buttons for it. It's hard to tell, but those are little pink and purple elephant buttons. I found the pattern on Knitty. And looking back at that pattern, I think I may use the Daisy motif on a dog sweater I'm planning for a cute little girl named... Daisy. :)

Now if I could just get motivated to finish my sweater.
