I know we are knitters, but I thought you might enjoy seeing this umbrella. I can’t imagine how many hours went into completing it. It was made for a summer wedding.

Ran across this post on how to make gift tags for knitted items. My son is installing my new printer today and I will have to try these out.

Does your stash look like this?
