stuff

Here are some things I’m fiddling around with…My crafty exploits usually start with some fiddling and then some false starts. I am not one of those people who pick out a pattern and then buy the exact yardage of fabric or yarn.  I always buy a ball of yarn or fabric that catches my eye and think up a project to use it on. Pictured here are Plymouth Yarn brand baby alpaca grande hand dye (blue), Anna Maria Horner Little Folks (square dance), and an organic cotton red yarn.

scarf #3

I love the color..

I ended up finishing the white scarf.   My daughter wore it to school today- she loves it.  Now I’ve started another scarf with a bulky lambswool/acrylic Lion brand yarn.  I wonder what I’ll be knitting when it’s 80 degrees out  come July?

What I’ve been up to

hours of knitting ! I am making a soft scarf for my mother out of some bamboo (huh ?) yarn .

I don’t really know what I’m doing or where I’m going with this knitting thing but I enjoy being able to work on a project while being with my family in the living room instead of off in the sewing area.  Plus it’s fun to knit in the dr.’s office and in the car.

thrifty find: cross-stitched linens

anyone crafty has to wonder – how long did it take to cross-stitch this tablecloth ?

I finished this today. It is for an 8 year old girl . It was a simple first project . I only learned how to knit a few days ago !
