Pinball Progress
I finished the first side of my new pinball.
It only took a week, but that's only because I ended up doing 38 rows on Friday. That was a lot of knitting for something so fine, and after knitting a dozen rows of the second side last night, my wrists need a night off.
Working on pinballs again has made me think about personalization of them. I've only given one as a gift that has initials on it, and I just put the recipient's initials on it. I've seen some with one set of initials with or without a date, but I've also seen some with two sets of initials as in "XXX to XXX". Now I'm curious to know whether people receiving a something like this as a gift would rather have it personalized with just their own initials or would rather have the giver's initials as well. What do you think?
If it helps, there are examples of both on my pinball Pinterest board.

I wish I weren't knitting impaired!

Do you have any opinion on the question of personalization of gifts?

I think either way with initials would be nice. I guess it would depend on the design and how the initials are arranged. The example at the top of your Pinterest board looks good because it's so balanced with the boarder and everything.
