I forgot this project!

This is the latest sweater I finished. I call it "Mountains and Firs" - the multi color is wool by Bernat that I found dicontinued at AC Moores. There wasn't enough for thwe whole sweater (and frankly, I don't mind that- called 'soft wool' is a misname- slightly scratchy is more like it) so I added an acrylic mill-ends of forest fir green mixed with bliack! The multi-color and the sleeves were knit on the bond while the finishing saddle shoulders and neck were hand knit.

Can't wait for cool weather!

here's the lastest projects

This is a skirt and top for Quinn. Logan's shirts aren't finished yet. I thought a little summer wear would be nice. And below is my second sock project- done with thinner sock yarn and should be lighter weight.

Such fun! U keep my hands busy this way.

and had a visitor!

This is an Albino Woodchuck at the bird feeder! This is the third year we've had the pale variety around the house. There us at least one more around that I've seen but not captured on film.

Cute, eh?

Been awhile but I'm back!

I don't know how people do all their crafts AND have time to blog!

I've been busy crafting: knitting especially. I tried hand knitting again and thanks to SIMPLY KNITTING magazine, I've got it! after all these years, I can knit! I've only done little projects by hand so far, see my socks below. The tops are too big and I needed to add elastic to them, but the foot is terrif! Warm and comfy! now for the next pair!
I also combined a Bond machine knit with hand knitting to make a stole for Quinn. (The machine knit directions were really complicated and looked awful, ripped out the shoulder sides and started by hand.) It was a learning expeirence for me but the final project turned out pretty good!

These are my socks and Quinn's capelet

Then I spiced it up with fingerless gloves, Headband, and hair tie

Then Ive been knitting sweaters too. And crocheting a surprise for Quinn. And sewing Summer surprises for The Grandkids. And . . . Well, that's why I haven't been blogging.
