Joining
Ginny at the Yarn Along today.
Having finished with the box to mail to family out west - it arrived safely - I went back to the sweater for Mouse. It is about 8 inches so far, knit from the bottom edge and I am shooting for 18 minimum so I must seriously buckle down. I am also working on a crocheted hat for my dad. It is called Lidsville and I love it. I have to lengthen the inner band and stitch it to the hat (so glad I called mom for his hat size - yes I started making him a hat without it) and add the button on top before I am done. I will be making another for myself and figuring out how to scale it down a bit for the boys. It does however put the Fraggle Rock theme song in my head. I spun the yarn shown (red) and used it and a brown wool for the hat, the homespun changes from red to russet to green to brown to blue through the yarn and I really enjoyed the changes and how it worked up. Normally, I end up giving away my spinning, so this was extra fun.
On the reading front I am going the the Anne of Green Gables series again, like visiting old friends at Christmas and it always makes me feel in the mood to clean and bake.
Oh the overexposed blue things are the gloves I sent for which are helping my hands greatly. I also noticed I was sleeping with my hands bent up under my chin and have been working hard at keeping my wrist straight while I sleep.
Some finished work to round out my post. I finished the two pairs of socks for Butterfly and the stone soup necklace for .... um not telling.
Hope you crafts & baking are going well. ~ Julia
