A knitting life of luxury

I have some alternations to this blogpost. Just to show my love for some of the handmade items Ann has made me.

First the scarf, ITS BRILIANT, a true masterpice, and not a beginers first chioce to knit. No matter if I have the black ore the yellow side turned out, It says KAAE not EAAK at one side, as i would have been if it was me who has knitted it.
