more for meeee

I finally finished my new mittens! AND the very first time I wore them, someone asked me for the pattern! I think that's the sign of a real knitter, when someone wants to copy you :)
(I also tried to make a light box, which didn't really work but at least I got one pretty good picture!)

I also finally made some Fetchings for myself! This is a great pattern, and I should know since this is my 5th pair!


I also made myself another pair of mary jane slippers since my old pair wore through. I think it was because I used cheap yarn, but Mom thinks it's because I like to run to the end of the hall and slide over to the stairs. Either way, I added some leather footprints to the bottom to prevent it from happening again :)

That's all for now! I have made a couple of other things, but they're for gifts so you'll have to wait!

Christmas, finally!

Gill and Grant's package finally arrived! Now you can all see what each other got and compare and fight!
Gill and Grant and Dad got mosaic house numbers. This is my new plan for sellable goods on Etsy:

Gill and Christine got fingerless mittens (Fetching from knitty.com - I just bought yarn to make myself some!), and Grant got the boy version:


Bonnie and Maureen got bath mitts with handmade soap from Moonsnail Soapworks in Charlottetown:

Chris and Christine each got Wilco stencilled t-shirts, but I forgot to take a picture of Chris's. It's grey and blue and asks "you still love rock and roll?"

The Mom got a knitting bag and matching needle/hook holder:


Everyone with pierced ears got earrings! Unfortunately, I had a really hard time photographing them:
So, another Christmas has come and gone, and it's already February! See you in 10 months!
