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!

Madi's Tulips Cardi

My very first human sweater is complete! I used the Tulips baby cardigan kit from The Knitting Bee with the accompanying pattern. The yarn is Dream in Color Classy. Very pretty colors and the yarn is smooshy. Very easy pattern to follow with satisfying results. I was kind of nervous because some of the little balls seemed to have less than others and so I had odd amounts of leftovers.

My leftovers:

Since baby Madi is currently about six months old, I need to get it up to her ASAP! She should get a few months wear out of it before the weather really warms up.

The sweater:

I'll probably end up knitting another baby sweater before I actually make one for myself. I am leaning towards making a 'Hey Teach!' as my first personal sweater or Spring Fling.

Now to finish knitting up those cranes, so they can be felted and sewn up for Wednesday night.
