How long did it take you to knit it
Really beautiful work, as usual. She will LOVE it!
Thanks!
It took about 3 weeks to knit, but 6 weeks for all the blocking and whatnot. Waiting for the pieces to dry :tap:drives me nuts!
The coat is eye-popping gorgeous!

Damn woman, will you adopt me? LOL She will be ecstatic I’m sure! I can’t imagine having all these GORGEOUS hand knit items in my closet.
Consider yourself adopted! 
Wow, very pretty!!
It’s gorgeous!! 
Can I add myself to the list of adoptees? 
Hey now…don’t be adopting more children, ArtLady. You’re not gonna have enough time to knit for your first adopted children (i.e. moi).
:teehee:
Beautiful work, as always. You are a generous lady who blesses so many with your wearable works of art.
Certainly!
<giggle> Thank you!!
