I wouldn't mind re-doing the pattern again (there are parts I think I could do better second time round) but not immediately after I've knitted it first time - it is quite repetitive.

I wouldn't mind making her something, but not this, not right now. Also it's my boyfriend's mum and there's possibly a dimension of commitment phobia that I wasn't considering, ie if I have knitted her something I am a serious longterm fixture with her son.

Maybe time out the four other pojects I'm working on and give an estimate several months away - if she is still keen then, I might be more okay with the idea.
