Twiddly Fingers

I'm plagued with Twiddly Finger Syndrome. :) My mother had it, my dad had it for a while, most of my cousins have it. Little known outside my family, TFS is a disorder characterized by an incessant need to constantly do something -- ANYTHING -- with your fingers. Sometimes this takes the form of smoking, sometimes eating, in other cases nail-biting. Having learned to channel this compulsion, I now put hooks and needles in my fingers and make things most of my family members don't need or want.

First gift- for Mona

The easiest thing in the world is to make a scarf for a friend. Especially a self-striping one.

METHOD:
Two balls of Fun Fur in the color "Mexicana" makes a festive enough birthday gift for a bellydancer. Thes are consistently shorter than I want, but they work out okay.

AND WHAT DID WE LEARN?:
The perfect $6 gift takes just a few hours to make, and people seem to really enjoy hand-knit gifts!
