Very proud knitter

Yes, I have cut my head off, but I wanted to share the jacket that I just finished. This is my "In Honor of My Mom" jacket. It was expensive yarn and I purchased it with some money that was left to me by Mom. I am so proud to report there isn't a mistake in it (as Mom was watching over my shoulder) and it fits and I love it! I had several emotional moments making this jacket. I will think of my sweet Mom every time I put it on me and I will consider it a huge hug from her. I know this jacket would have made her very proud of the knitting skills that she has taught me. I absolutely love to knit and I wish I had learned earlier in life - but I am certainly making up for lost time now. I love you Mom and thanks for all the lessons in life! I miss you so much!

I couldn't wait for Allen to get there, so I hopped out of the car - does anyone like this shot?
