as far as I can tell, but it did happen to my MIL, and she was still steaming about it years later!!!

The dog toy, I mean.

She made a pretty lap blanket for her eldest son's stepdaughter, then found out that the girl was using it for her dog's actual bed.

God, what an insult!!

anyway, I'm with you...I don't care how many of whatever item I have around, some people are not going to get them.

I have a pretty knitted vest I made like 4 years ago that I've been saving to give to someone. Only trouble is, I can't think of anyone who would like the style and appreciate it.
