I’ve decided I need a new blog, to keep my stitching lives separated. So, from now on, all the random personal projects I’ve got going will be here.
Thanks to E–, I’ve taken up knitting. I’m still learning, but I’m doing pretty well. For the holidays, I took on the challenge of making most, if not all, of the gifts for family and friends. This was a slightly selfish challenge, as it meant I could practice knitting in the process. Here’s where I’ve gotten thus far:
I decided to learn to cable with an owl, and then made sure that I understood the process by making a coffee cup sweater for my mother. I was pretty shocked at how easy it is.
A cowl for my hubby.
And a needle case for me. This also has a matching circular needle case and bag. I also made a circular case for my friend Emily.
A lovely eggplant for Tina.Oh, and a set of cotton balls for our niece.
