December? Already?

During the last two months or so, I have almost completely disappeared off of the knitting radar. I think I sighed a little too large sigh of relief at half deadline. But here we are in December and I have a book due in a little over 4 months! I have been working, but it [...]

Crochet Bowls!

I’ve been so busy with all of my knitting deadline projects, I almost forgot to post a few pictures of the crochet bowls I made as presents for Christmas like I promised. This is bowl number 2, which was allowed to dry naturally. This was much easier without Christmas breathing down my back. This was [...]

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! I hope everyone enjoyed the holidays, got some rest, and had time to work on some lovely projects. The holiday was pretty low key for me, but it was nice to be able to rest up for a change. My days were mainly spent watching movies with a little bit of cooking [...]

Happy Holidays!

First Pair! Plus Felting By Hand

I started working on my slippers on Friday night. In about a half an hour, I had two souls. Today I turned out 4 sides and two tabs in about an hour and a half. Now they needed to be felted, but I don’t have a washing machine, I would have to wait til I [...]

Last Minute….Again

Why do I always wait til the last minute to think about Christmas knitting? While some of you have been busy planning since July (or at least October), I haven’t taken heed again this year. I’ve decided to make 4 pairs (possibly 5) of the French Press Felted Slippers. They are actually quite quick to [...]
