Christmas Hustle

Well I am late again, The holidays have got me running so that I am neglecting my blog. Been so busy I can't even knit for myself. I have a million things on my want to do list!

So Sorry, I am not keeping up with you all! Anyway, I finished a fun wine sleeve from Keep it Simple designs http://www.keepitsimpledesigns.net/p_accessories.html

It is knit with Cascade Alma and though, I am not very fond of working with this yarn, it does knit up lovely. I think I have issue's with texture.

It is on display at boucle yarn studio in Fargo ND where I work, if you are in the neighborhood, pop in to see it. Wine sacks or sleeves make great quick gifts. I have also finished a felted wine sack for my sister for Christmas. I am currently knitting on my first top down sweater. I am nearly done, it has only taken me 2 days ; ) Well..... it's actually a miniature for a Christmas ornament. For today I will share the wine sleeve. The sweater and felted sack to come soon.

Dazzling in my Hat

Even though there is no real stitch definition on felted items, I will share yet another felted project this week. I feel rather smart and Dazzling in my new hat.

So feast your eyes on my cuteness ; )

It looks rather gray in the one picture, but the brown color is the true representation.

School Colors Clogs

I made these for my DD for Christmas and if I do say so, they turned out great. It is nice to have a jump on the Christmas knitting. Now on to the next project. I will be making a felted wine bag for my sister.

Humongous Hat

After working on the sweater for a few months I needed a quick project or two. I have been knitting a hat that I will felt down. It is tooooo funny. I had my son take a picture of me wearing it (prefelting) so you can all get the effect. Do you like my flannel jams? Do you all remember the Fat Albert cartoon, with that kid who had the hat pulled down over his face all the time. Well what do you think....

I will be felting this weekend. I also have a pair of clogs that is nearly done. Can you say

Big Foot! So these two projects will hit the washing machine together.

It's Done!

My first handknit sweater. I am overjoyed. It is laying flat to dry right now and I have taken a few pictures. I can't wait to wear it and get a picture with it on. I think I must go shopping for a black dress so I can wear it, as the model in the book is wearing it. Too Fun!

So here are a few pictures. I will post a picture of me modeling once it is dry and I have that new dress ; ) This first one is of the Kimono hanging on the wall in the local yarn store where I work.
