Juno Salad Soup

Remember back in April when I finished my Juno Regina Wrap? Well I (with lots of help from Mary Beth) finally blocked it while I was in Myrtle Beach. I'm telling ya. A lot was accomplished during my vacation.

MmmMMMmmmm. Juno Regina Salad Soup. Doesn't it look yummy? Here she is taking her bath. Couldn't resist adding the whisk.


Almost finished with the stretching/pulling/pinning/re-pinning...

Hanging off the back of the chaise lounge in all her glory....

Me, the knitter, modeling it....

...but it looks so much better on the recipient....

I knew all along while I was knitting Juno that Mary Beth would be the proud owner of it. I was so cool and casual about gifting it to her. I tried it on first and then I said, "Let's see it on you". Snapped the picture and told her it was hers. This was one way of saying thank you to her for helping me out with the t-shirt quilt I am going to be making. A few months ago she kindly offered to cut the t-shirts down into squares and press interfacing to them for me (she has this awesome press). I love my sis and was so happy to give her this wrap. Now I need to make one for myself!
