F.O. Cat's Stocking

One more stocking finished. Now, I just need to do mine. I wonder if I can get it done before the holiday season??

Project Details:
This was a kit from Annie's Woolens. I modified it to be able to put all three cat's names on it. Size 10.5 needles. I didn't to the folded top (that one is on Mike's stocking and I wanted something different). I did a standard st. st on the top so that it will roll. I cast-on August 25th and finished today August 30th (5 days although I really worked on it yesterday and today - so really a 2 day project). It says Bend, Methow and Moab around the sock. It has yet to be blocked. That will be tonight! I have found that these look a lot better if they are blocked.

Bowls With Boarders!

There is this great blog hop that I joined. It is called bowls with boarders. Regina came up with this great paper piece pattern - which I used to stack them this high.  Please check out all the other bowls for today! Birgit H. Vicki B. Monika G.

After that I decided my love of hexagons had to come out as well.  This was an incredibly fun project!  You should check out the rest of the bowls on the site.  So impressive!

F.O. Stupidly Simple Shawl

Image
I love putting FO in the subject line. Makes me feel like I've done something good! Project Details: Started on March 6th and finished on June 5th. Longer than one would think - but this was the car or doctor's office project. Not something I worked on all the time. I used 6 skeins of Bristol Yarn Gallery Buckingham Fingering alpaca yarn held together. Well I held two strands together (not all 6 at one time). This gave me the weight I wanted and it still drapes well I think. The pattern is really only 2 sentences long. I used size 7 needles and didn't change anything from the pattern. It was really a fun project!

When Crafting Goes Bad Part II

Well I did it again. No I didn't cut my finger with the rotary blade - but I might as well have. In an attempt to get my big spinning wheel working I was testing out some fiber - when all of a sudden the whole flyer and bobbin came off and slammed into my big toes. I'm pretty sure it is broken or really badly bruised. I've been icing it and it hurts to walk. Again the hubby wonders why hobbies are so violent! Ps - I know I have ugly toes...get over it, they are feet!
