Do you know what is even better than having friends that knit? Having friends that knit things FOR YOU! Katy said that as she worked on the Diamond Fantasy shawl, she realized that it was really calling my name. So she gave it to me for my birthday! (Well, we couldn’t get together on my birthday, so it was a week later, but still within the “birthday month” so that is still birthday time to me!)
I realized yesterday that I had been remiss and not shared a photo of it on the blog. And this is not the best photo – Mike took it while I was wearing it with my cell phone. But I had to share it.
The yarn is Hill Country Yarns Sweet Feet Sock Yarn, and the pattern is the Diamond Fantasy Shawl. It is so lovely that two complete strangers out in the wild complemented me on it today – and since Katy was with me, I quickly responded with, “She knit it!”
Hmmm… since I’m posting a photo and her knitting details, does this make this post Katy Blogless’s first blog post via proxy? (Please comment on it, as Katy thinks that if she had a knitblog, no one would comment. So I want her to see the commenty love!)

*pretending this is Katy’s blog* Katy that’s gorgeous! I love that colorway and can’t wait to see more of the stuff you knit! *hint hint*
Yum, looks like minty chocolate chip ice cream (in shawl form)! The people demand a better photo!
Oh yeah, happy birthday christine!
Love the shawl that Katy Blogless knitted for you! Doesn’t she need a knitting bag???
Pretty! And so nice of you, Katy, to knit for a fellow knitter!
Oooh, Katy Blogless! (My birthday is in November.)
Katy, you really need a blog. They are so much fun, even if no one comments, but people will.
Great shawl.
[…] For my birthday, Katy Blogless made me a beautiful shoulder shawl from the Diamond Fantasy pattern. Next, she made one to donate for her son’s school band “Casino Night” silent auction. She had to take the prize over today so that they could get it ready, so we wanted to photograph it before it made its way to its new owner, the proud winner on Friday night. […]
