    May 20, 2013 - By 

    Yesterday we got together with Mr. G’s side of the family to celebrate the Spring birthdays. We went out to eat then visited over cake and ice cream at home.

    Look at this beautiful bowl I got from my in-laws. She knows my love of pottery and is always on the lookout for a new piece for me. This one is from Frog Creek Pottery. I have no affiliation but thought I should tip my hat to them anyway for such a beautiful bowl.

    My BIL and his GF gave me this really cool art yarn from Italy. I’m already planning on knitting an infinity scarf with it. It should be very fun and eclectic.

    Lucky girl…that’s me. 🙂

    Scarf completed

    scarf

     

    just in time for the weather to warm up.

    Of course.

    I’ve knit well over 50 of the ruffle scarves but this is my first standard knitting project that I have completed!!

    I stitched the ends together to make an infinity scarf. It wraps really well around my neck for that super warm and cozy feeling that we need for our Minnesota winters.

    I started a new scarf yesterday but am thinking I’m going to rip it apart and start again. I’m not liking the 2 yarn combo I’m using.

    Scrappy, scrappy

    November 11, 2012 - By 

    I’ve been working on loom knitting again. I have an order for 10 dishcloths and am expecting I’ll be getting a few more orders real soon. I decided to use some of my scraps of yarn to give some visual interest to these cloths.  Waste not, want not.

    As long as I was thinking scrappy…

     I put together the first in a series of journals. The cover is a print of one of my kaleidoscopes. I believe this one started as a rose.

    I love the look of all the different papers. It’s up to the recipient to decide how to use them.
