The last two weeks I have been working on this.
I knew I would give it to my co-worker, Tom. We have been working together for 13 years now. He is like an uncle I never knew I had until I was 35. He will be 80 this summer, works a few hours a day - he will never retire. I wasn't sure when I would give it to him. Too late for Christmas and not a good gift for July birthday.
He had a little "bump in the road" last weekend. So Tuesday when I left work, I left it on his chair with a little note: To Tom from Linda, too keep you warm while you nap in your recliner
Wednesday morning he gave me a hug, a kiss on the cheek, and told me I was a special lady. Of course we were both all teary.
Its made from Caron simply soft yarn, simple double crochet, three rows then one row, lots of colors.
