Ooo-ing and Ahhh-ing Optional

Finished these bad boys last night.



They're for my sister in celebration of her getting her master's degree in nursing. She's been an RN for 31 years and she's finally gotten the time to get her master's degree. And I'm very proud of her.

For you yarn types - the details:

Pattern: No-purl Monkey
Yarn: Overpriced and so not worth it Koigu Painters Palette Premium Merino. Colorway: P812. Number of knots in two skeins: seven. Good thing it splices well or someone in Canada would be taking an ass whipping*.

Now then! Shall we take bets on how long it'll be before I mail them to Sister?

*This statement is in no way a reflection on my warm and kind feelings towards Canadians. I like Canada. I like Canadians. I have lovely, close friends in Canada. However, this annoyingly-full-of-knots yarn was produced in Canada and that means someone in Canada (but not necessarily a Canadian!) is responsible, hence my declaration that someone in Canada, specifically Ontario, is deserving of an ass whipping. But let me say it now! I love Canada!
