From "Wedding Knits"...
Knit and crocheted with Rowan 4 ply cotton in white and light blue. The body used about 1 skein of 4 ply, I probably could have knit and crocheted a solid white one and still only needed 1 ball.
The body is about 10.5 inches wide. And I circled the boo-boo that happened because I was too busy yelling at the TV while watching the president's speech (he's lucky he didn't get a crochet hook through the head... well I guess I'm lucky because that probably would have destroyed the TV) and laughing at robotic Cheney and Ms. Blinky Pelosi.
It's really beautiful!
I was knitting last night during the lame-o speech too and realized DANG I made this (a prayer shawl) WAY too big...I think I was just getting worked up and knitting faster and faster and faster - ha ha. Oh well.
As my husband says - at least we were multi-tasking and not giving our full attention to Bushie.
I love your handkercheif. That is a great gift idea! :)
