My 21 year old twins got books (Arivind Adiga's "White Tiger", Rawi Hage's "Cockroach") and items like flannel-lined jeans and down vests which I know they enjoy. This year I made the decision to give no cash or gift cards. Love your knits, especially top scarf, and it's such fun to see them modeled by your appreciative family.Duchessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09986153653120526776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-45370145661807693962009-01-07T20:49:00.000-08:002009-01-07T20:49:00.000-08:00Wow, gorgeous knitwork!
