Kiri!
2009 Finishes: Knitting
I made Kiri (PDF) for my mom for Christmas, and actually finished it on time for once. But of course that meant I forgot to take pictures. I finally remedied that this weekend.

Close-up on the pattern:
Ravelry here. I used worsted weight wool, so it's more substantial but still pretty. I didn't get too sick of the pattern, which is saying something for something that large and repetitive. And Mom says she's actually wearing it, which is always the goal with knitted gifts. So. Success!

That looks lovely! And it suits your mother well. I'm glad she's wearing it. I borrowed my mom's Kiri back to enter it in the fair at the end of summer, and forgot to give it back to her, and she actually ASKED FOR IT BACK in the fall so she could wear it. It was a happy moment. :)
