Sock Done

Here it is! One down and one to go. And it fits! Now that I've done one I am no longer afraid of working on the second half of the pair. I'm especially motivated and want to start wearing them.

Short Socks

I have decided to make these ankle high socks. It's summer now and then I can start wearing them right away. I'm partially in to the ribbing, only an inch or so to go.

Sock Progress

I've turned the heel. I'm almost done with the gusset. Then it's a straight shot from there up to cuff. I feel like I'm making progress.

Finished Zipper Pouch

The pouch is felted and dry. Only needs me to pop the zipper in. It came out really nice. I'm still loving that yellow color.

Hat for Lucy

A little crocheted hat for Lucy to match her little yellow sweater. Cute!

Finished Box

Here is the finished felted box out drying in the sun. Looks good. The sides are nice and stiff and the colors felted together nicely.

Box Before Felting

Here we go! Off to the washing machine.

Felted Box

I am making a felted box. I'm using Lion Brand Fisherman wool I had on hand in two colors held together. The pattern is from a Mason Dixon knitting book I own. These little felted "crates" are very cute. I've made them before.

Luscious Yarn

Can't get over how pretty this yarn is.

New Pouch

This is going to be a felted zippered pouch. This is Lanoloft yarn by Brown Sheep. This beautiful bright and sunny colored yarn caught my eye and I had to have it.

New Sock Needles

I am excited to share the news about my new sock needles. Knit Pix makes a beautiful sock needle pack. Made with gorgeous colored birch wood from India. I bought them at a fabulous local crafting shop "The Studio".

Turned My Heel

After breaking my sock needles and picking up my new set, I am back at the socks. I turned my heel! First one. Big news and now working on the gusset. Things are going great and I am really enjoying working on my socks again.

New Pillows

We used a piece of a quilt to make these new pillow covers. They are for Little Bit to add a little bit of Hawaii surfing to her room. Cute!

Little Bit's Quilt

Little Bit made her first quilt.  She pieced together blocks that were embroidered, beaded, and fabric markered.  All sewing and hand quilting she did herself.  She did a great job and I am so proud.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Matching Set

Well, once I got started I was having a lot of fun. Two dishrags have come of it. Love the color.

Dishcloth

What better way to get your crafting mojo back than with a dishrag! Fun spring colors crocheted with a basic single crochet and loop border.

Craft Fairy

I have lost all craftiness.  I haven't made anything in weeks.  How sad.  I just don't feel inspired.  Little Bit on the other hand, is.  Here is the little fairy she made herself.  Adorable.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Velveteen Rabbit

I made this knitted rabbit for a dear friend.  I got the book for her to go with it.  Very cute!

 

 

Beaded Creations

The kids have been making little pony bead creations.  Patterns found online. Very cute.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lucy's New Sweater

Here is the new little sweater I made for Little Bit's doll.  She picked a three quarter sleeve style.  It's made with Brown Sheep Cotton Fleece, a very soft durable yarn 80 cotton 20 wool.  One of my favorite brands for baby sweaters.  Lucy is a happy girl!
