9. That is very beautiful!
I would love to have something like that, but my cats would destroy it so amazingly quickly. :P

Good work. Your coworker is very fortunate. She's going to know that you put a lot of thought and effort into her gift.

11. Beautiful
wish I could do that.....
my mom would knit and she would do practice stiches and make squares....
finally she realized she had enough squares to make a quilt....
it was all different colors, stiches and sizes....
but its a prized posession....

your co-worker will love it

16. Oooh, how beautiful!
I wish I had the skills to make something like that. My great-grandmother was a great crocheter of afghans, and I still have several of the ones she made. I didn't inherit that skill, though I did end up with her passion for dog-breeding. Anyway, congrats on completing such a major project! :)

17. This is the kind of gift I cherish more than anything bought
I have a few of these sort of things I've received over the years, and they would be the first inanimate objects, after vids and photos, I would take out of my home in an emergency.

You rock, and you have a dynamite smile......
