mums LATE xmas pressie

so here is my mums finished xmas present (im still playing catch up so actaully it was finished early january!)

i realized once i had already done quite a lot of it that this was very much the WRONG kind of yarn for this pattern, the yarn itself was too complicated.

the pattern doesnt propery show case how beautiful the yarn is, and the yarn doesnt let the pattern show how awesome it is.

i think i will have to try this pattern again with simple yarn

(knitted with homespun ones mixed berries and err? forgotten, all from the nyc stash!)

here are some 'this-is-wat-it-looks-like-on-people' shots, coz my mums away she hasnt even seen it yet, let alone tried it on :(
