I’m giving the February Baby Sweater as a gift, as I may have mentioned before. I love giving handknits as gifts, and since this is going to be a bigger party I’m not guaranteed to see the mother-to-be open this particular gift. I’m not sure some people *get* that people actually like spending hours knitting, and in this case, I’m not sure that the girl even knows I knit. We talk quite infrequently in varying amounts of personal detail – there’s never any time to get into much. She’s always so appreciative of the time I spend on her IT problems, and I just got the feeling that she would appreciate a handknit sweater otherwise I never would have bothered. On the other hand, I’m not sure it would be screamingly obvious to a non-knitter (who I’m not sure knows that I knit) that the sweater IS handknit. I thought a tag was appropriate in this situation.

At the craft store, I was browsing through the scrapbooking aisle because the supplies are a lot of fun to look at, and I spotted some vellum paper with pink handprints. I pulled out my iPhone to ascertain whether it was possible to put vellum through the printer and actually print on it (you can!) and I bought a piece. This is what I came up with.

The slanting is unintentional, and I sort of regret the curly edges. But I’m too miserly to want to waste a good bit of paper, so I’m using it anyway. There was no holepunch in the house, so I speared it with a tapestry needle with some yarn on it. I secured it to the top button with a twist. I forgot to take a picture of this before I wrapped it. I kind of like it though. The word “care” should have been in the smaller font as well. I don’t think I would want to tag all of my handknit gifts, but it’s fun to see that it’s so easy to be able to!
