A gift for a friend

So my good friend's birthday is coming up and I've been madly trying to make her something by hand. Time is precious these days but knitting is my down time so I don't mind doing something. I hate the pressure though and I often worry if people will love a creation as much as I do!


Here's my options so far.

A scarf perhaps (Silk Ribbon Yarn by Mango Moon):

2. Or this cowl I made last year with silk roses in the yarn (mixed with Malabrigo).


Or maybe some socks made out of Blue Moon Fiber Arts Socks That Rock:
Or maybe something out of this lovely cashmere/silk yarn from Tanglewood Fiber:

I just can't decide what she would like best. This is what I know about her:


1. She's beautiful inside and out.





2. She can knit but doesn't so she can appreciate hand knit gifts.
3. She likes things soft and casual...not buttoned up.
4. She loves her birthday so much she's instituted "Birthday Month" therefore a wonderful gift is very meaningful.
What do you think?
