that's very nice and should work up quickly. How long until her birthday?

February 29th

it seems like that would be enough time, if you get started soon. I don't know how fast a knitter you are, though.

Well if I actually get it finished for her birthday I think she would have a heart attack. I'm usually at least 1 week behind on b-days.

my mom is a couple of years behind on something she's making for me.

And I figure it's better than the normal cookbook or gift certificate to Walmart (she has an unhealthy love of Walmart).

it is much better.

If your mom does not love it I would be suprised. It is beautiful
