These little guys were up in the wardrobe...
I remember buying the cheater cloth and thinking I'd make them...
oh...
a few years ago!
So, I have stitched up the little pillows...
And then I stitched up two little banners from the smaller pillows...
And rummaged through my buttons and found these cunning guys...
Lots and lots of heart buttons in the stash, some vintage and some not...
And then I decided it was time to commit
to a project I have wanted to do for some time...
knit through Elizabeth Zimmerman's "Knitter's Alamanac" in one year...
So I have cast on the January project, "An Aran For You", and started it.
This is some wonderful
local natural Corriedale worsted that I bought at SAFF,
oh, about the same time I bought the cheater cloth...
enough said...
And, I finished this darling shawlette from my very first handspun.
This does not favor to the cherry red yarn,
but, for some reason,
the camera doesn't want to show that pretty, pretty colour.
And, I am listening to this guy. Remember him?
I feel so productive and homey! What are you working on these days?
Love those pillows! I need to get sewing again...
ReplyDeleteHi Matty, so nice to hear from you today, thank you for stopping by! I love your word for the new year. I have been wanting to feel more passionate about life again myself. 2012 was a good year, with many good changes, but it left me feeling a bit tired and in need of some rejuvenation. What a great goal to go through the whole knitting book in a year. You really have me inspired. I have been knitting quite a few hats and fingerless gloves sets, trying out new stitches and techniques for the brims and cuffs. I am working a really pretty pattern now called the "mosaic". I finally finished my big peacock shawl that I had been working on since summer. Your shawl and pillows are really beautiful! How cool that you got to use your own hand spun yarn. I have been slowly working on getting my new sewing room put together up stairs. I have so much more space now. I am really looking forward to spending some time up there. The windows look out over the pond and it is so peaceful. Well my friend I will close for now, I need to run and start making dinner. Have a nice evening ahead! With Love, Delisa :)
