A present...

Here's a close-up of a knitted present for someone who will be celebrating their birthday this month. I'm not showing the complete item just in case the intended receiver sees this post! I managed to knit it up really quick because it was such a great pattern and the yarn is beautiful (silk/merino). The photo actually shows the unfinished item because it has yet to be blocked (ie. soaked and then stretched so that the lace pattern really stands out).

I like it so much that I'm going to knit one up for myself soon...that is after I finish a few other presents. Working on some more sock dolls...
