crickets blue cape
oversized purse of just a large tote?
i tried to make nandi a new felted purse.
unfortunately it didn’t felt down as much as i expected (nandi was busy so meg is modelling it for size)
it is too big for a purse, but not bad for a large tote bag. i’m trying again with different yarn that i know felts really well
new years resolutions?
i had decided i was going to forgo the esk yarnathon this year and instead only knit stuff that has been in my design queue this year, but as usual as soon as the kals and badges are posted i start scheming to see which ones i can re-work for my dolls :doh
nandi is going through a mori-girl stage, so she asked for this wrap and hood
cricket fell in love with this basket and wants it as a bed/nest
and i fell in love with this project for me. i’m planning to do it colors that coordinate with my craft room and knit up some new/favorite stitches for reference/wall art
i’m sure there will be a few more things once the girls make up their minds!
crystal’s new hat
crystal wanted a really bright stocking cap to coordinate with her jacket and boots, so she picked out a bunch of yarns and i knit them up in random order
back view
full length
meg’s new cowl
i made a new cowl for meg and i love how this one came out. it was kind of a pain to knit, linen stitch on 1.5mm needles (i was using the wrong length for most of it too) but in the end it was worth it. i like this one so much i want to order more yarn and size it up for me!
i’m not sure she was super impressed with me for not clearing the snow off the stump before i had her sit down though
and another one done
got up this morning and finished the pom pom for the last hat. since this one was so bright, meg let me go just a little smaller, so it didn’t overwhelm the hat.
and a side view
megs new hats.
i hat a little bit of yarn left over from my lost and wandering socks. i figured there was just enough to make a couple of hats for the girls. turns out i had enough to make 4 with less than 30cm of yarn left over when i was done! they made cute beanies but meg insisted she want BIG pompoms on them. we went through the stash and she chose 4 colors to coordinate with the hats. while watching tv i managed to make and trim down the first three, and she happily modeled the hats for me as i finished. it was actually the perfect activity to do while huge flakes of snow fell steadily outside.
she picked gold to go with the first of the purplier ones
navy with the other
and purple with the first pinker one
i still have one more pom to make. but i ran out of time.
i think she did a great job of picking colors, but i’m not so sure about the size of the pompoms. i think they look a bit big (in spite of my trimming) but she assures me that they are right on trend, and just what she wanted! she’s going to wear one tomorrow when we go out and wrap the others as gifts for nandi, ember and shaelyn… as soon as i get that last pompom done…
another mini project
so here is the scenario
i am knitting merrily along, when the tiny jump ring i am using as a stitch markers goes flying. it hits the floor and disappears into the netherworld, never to be seen again. growling i declare there has to be a better way….
a week or so later i am happily wandering around michaels trying to remember what i came in for when i spy jump rings on sale. ooh, i need those, i’m always losing mine. then i spy a string of tiny beads already on little loops, no idea what other people would use them for, but i immediately think they could be added to the jump rings to make stitch markers that are easier to find when i drop them, so into my basket both items go. i arrive home and deposit them on my sewing desk to finish…later.
weeks go by, i wander into my craft room, spy these strange beads on my desk, have no clue what they are for and prepare to put them in my give away pile. suddenly i see the jump rings beside them, and say “oh yeah, the are for stitch markers”, put both back on my desk and wander out….

weeks go by, i’m cleaning out my craft room for real this time, spy these strange beads on my desk, have no clue what they are for and prepare to put them in my give away pile. suddenly i see the jump rings beside them, and say “oh yeah, the are for stitch markers”, grab my needle-nose pliers, whip up a couple of dozen stitch-markers, but them in a neatly labelled box and stick them with my knitting supplies. (then give the spare beads away 😉 )
case closed 🙂 🙂 🙂
hue shift done
it’s been a long time since i’ve had time to write here on the blog. life, and particularly my kids, seem constantly conspiring to keep me away. i’m hoping to have more time to blog and work with my dolls this fall, but we will see how it all plays out.
in the meantime i realized i never posted a picture of my finished blanket
it actually is square, the picture is just cockeyed…
the red and black one has all the squares done, but i haven’t quite decided what to do with the border, so it is on hold for now.
christmas in march?
i started my christmas projects early this year with a cozy hat for the lovely lady who looks after my middle son. my camera colors are a bit off today. this is more of a true red with a black haze, rather than the plum it looks like. i wanted to use the whole skeing up, so when i got to the end and still had a bunch left i ripped it back to before the increases and added another set. this time i was left with a mere couple of yards left over. success!
the yarn is wonderfully soft and thick. i’m going to make a coordinating cowl in rios ravelry red later.
