Oh yes, you did very good!  The whole story warms my heart -- a *gift*;  a *handwoven* gift;  a handwoven gift planned and made by a *13-year-old boy* with help from his *father*.  This is the true spirit of Christmas!!

It's my belief that your son will remember this very fondly as the years roll by, adding to his collection of favorite memories of his dad.

Thanks for posting the picture and telling the story -- it made my day.

Bonnie.

Notes

This is a scarf woven for my son's friend at school who happens to be a girl. Since they've already exchanged gifts it's not a secret so I can post it. The scarf is about 4.5 inch by 72 inch. The yarn is Caron Simply Soft "Autumn Red" acrylic with a couple of strands of white acrylic for accent.

Here is the scarf on the loom. My son went with me to select the color and yarn. I warped it, started the first two inches and then he started weaving. He did it a good portion of it over a couple of evenings, not bad for a kid who is 13 years old anyway. I had promised him we would not miss the deadline so I finished it for him when he had to go to an evening program at school.

So the next night we finished it, washed it, steam ironed it, wrapped it and put a bow on it. He gave it to her the next day. He says she liked it. I promised him it would not look lame and I think we did good.
