And much as I would like to take credit for them, these are not all of my doing. I'd probably lie about that if there weren't people reading my blog who would (justifiably) point a finger.
You can't blame a slow knitter for trying.
Anyway. Quite some time ago I was drawn into a knitting project with various blogless types. My good friend, Blogless Heidi, and I were given some yarn to knit scarves for our mutual good friends, Blogless Don and Blogless Brad. Said scarves were completed (oh, did I mention that I was the first one done? Yup--I won that race) (not that there was a race) (but if there'd been a race I'd've won) and delivered and much appreciated. And now, modeling their commissioned handwork, I give you:
Blogless Don, in the scarf I made!
And in the scarf Heidi made!
Blogless Brad in the scarf I made!
And in the scarf Heidi made!
And that's not even all! One of the Christmas presents I couldn't show on this blog because the recipient reads it? Was for Blogless Don:
Let's face it--nothing warms a knitter's heart more than seeing their handknit items actually being used.
OK. So. I took credit for the things I made. I didn't take credit for the things Blogless Heidi made, although I would have liked to. But.
This. This, I really really really wish I could take credit for. But I must give credit where credit is due, and that's to Blogless Don's (Presumably) Blogless Mom.
Don't you wish you had a Blogless Mom who'd make you one of those?
I DO have a blogless mom who made cable-knit afghans for herself, my brother, and me back when I was blogless. Of the six of us (me, bro, mom, and three afghans), I'm the only one who has a blog today.
Everyone who gets things knit for them is a lucky, lucky duck--blog or not.

I love show and tell at Chez Knit Think. I didn't realize the last photo was a huge afghan until I double clicked on the photo.
WOW!
I wish I had a blogless knitter mom like that in my life. Blogless Don is a very lucky man.

Dang, I sure do wish I had a blogless (or blogwith) friend who would make something like that!

Hey what's that first scarf? Pioneer Braid? That's my fave scarf right now!
It's a beautiful afghan, but let's be honest. If I had a blogless mom to make it for me, it would be full of blogless cats sleeping on it shedding their profuse amounts of blogless hair.
