A girl and her books, dogs and crafts

I live in the Great Pacific Northwest where I read lots of books, you can check them out in my Shelfari bookshelf to the right. I currently knit and spin and have become more active in the SCA so more sewing! I also do quilt and bead-work and have learned how to Norse wire weave. I do have past experience with crochet and ceramics, but don't do a lot of it now. I may also be lured into weaving in the near future, so life is fun and interesting! Come share my adventures!

December 2012 Knitting

I was busy making soap sacks and i-cord for largess projects:

The personal toilette bags they went into:

Then I knit up all the nephews slippers out of chunky yarn from the Interweave Knits 2008 Holiday Gifts magazine:

I'm still behind on my gift knitting though. I need to do a pair of niece Kaisha and for my sister Jennifer, oh and one pair for my nephew Garrett. I ran out of yellow yarn, so he won't get a pair like that.

I was also able to wrap up the 12th hat for the year before it ran out -

I learned how to do the brioche stitch with this hat and it was something new for me too! Added bonus!

Soap sacks are fun projects! I'm behind on gift knitting as well - need to finish the 2nd slipper sock for my dad, and still owe my aunt a hat. Almost finished the hat in time, but my stitch count was off somewhere. Managed to knit a hat for my brother in the car on the way to CA, and finished a hat for my cousin on Christmas Eve :)
