Winnie

Here is a little Winnie for my little Bit who is in love with Pooh Bear. I'll be working on a piglet for Xmas.

Pooh Purse

A Winnie-the-Pooh purse for Little Bits birthday.

Project List

Well after much deliberation last night, I'm going with.......another felted wallet and a dozen eggs (you will just have to wait and see). I am also ripping out (gasp) the fingerless gloves I started. I don't like the way the pattern is turning out. This yarn is too special to waste on a pair of gloves I don't like. It'll keep me busy this afternoon and evening. PIctures to follow.

Short Rows

I don't like short rows!!!!! They are holding me back from a few projects. I may have to sit and watch utube videos over and over this afternoon so I can figure them out. They never seem to come out right and really frustrate me. Grrr......

No knitting

I have finished up all but one project. For the first time in forever I'm working on a one by one basis. A weird feeling but I am liking it. I've been working on mini projects and sticking with that for awhile. Life is so busy it seems the best for now. Tonight I sit tucked in bed devouring my huge stack of personal knitting books looking for the perfect project to entice me. The problem is picking just one is too hard. Hmmmm my one by one plan is slowing fading away.

Little Turtle

This is a little crocheted turtle I've whipped up for a park biologist as a thank you for a special tour. She is a lover of turtles.

Beach Bag

I finally finished my knitted beach bag. It's a flax wool blend. It feels so soft but is also durable at the same time. We are headed to the beach today in fact. I'm going to pack it full of sunblock and snacks and see how it holds up.

Last Photo shoot

Little cactus getting a couple more shots in before heading to AZ.

Cactus

For my mother's birthday I whipped up a cactus. She lives in AZ and it seems only fitting. She doesn't keep live plants very well and I thought this would be perfect for her. Happy Birthday Mom!

Another view

Sting ray

Here is the newest sea creature being added to the collection. What a cutie!

Little Bit's Hat

Here is Little Bit's new hat! She crocheted the flower and I made her the new hat to go with it. The pattern came from one of the ladies at knit night. We are going to another teamwork effort and make a second.

Finished Scarf

It's done! It's a med length scarf with a fabulous shimmer to it. It's almost cold enough this week to wear it.

Gray and Red Pouch

I'm finally finished with my felted bag. I was going to make a tote styled bag out of it. Then decided to turn it into a felted zipper pouch. Once it's finished drying I will sew in a zipper. I may turn it into my new wallet. I am really happy I went with the pouch. I'm loving how it turned out. The magic of felting, it's always a surprise......

Finished Bowl

Another little bowl. This one in very autumn colors. It too will be filled with shells when it's done drying.

Pinky the JellyFish

My little Jellyfish is complete. I love this little guy. We have named her Pinky. The kids are all requesting one of their own now. For now Pinky will live hanging on my china cabinet in the dining room. She may request a spot next to Star the Starfish in the bathroom later though.

My goal this week is to actually get some projects finished up. Good luck to me......All I can think about is starting new ones.

This is the life

The line on my pocket from my new bag says it all.........of course Little Bit helped make this one too. She hogs the machines these days.

Pencil Cases

Sticking with our love of all things ocean..... pencil cases. These are for our art supplies when we go out on nature sketching days.

Little Bit Creations

Little Bit has been back at the sewing machine again. A new purse/tote for herself. Tomorrow matching wallet to go with it.

Dashing

Although I have projects stacked up everywhere I've decided to go ahead with my yummy cotton/wool blend. I finally (after a year) have found the perfect pattern for this super special yarn.

I'm making the "Dashing fingerless mitt". I believe its from the Knitty website. They will run up my arm a bit more than the Fetching Pattern I usually use. There will be some cabling involved which I'm excited about.

It's 6am. I'm up listening to tropical storm winds and rains and feeling in the mood for my winter gloves. Happy knitting to me.
