happy pie day
new year new post
last year was weird to say the least! it was hard to find anything to post about, and after a while i didn’t even try. here’s hoping this year goes better. what better way to start it, than by jumping down the rabbit hole of a new eatsleepknit yarnathon? once again i am trying to make it fit into my dolly plans, we’ll see if i do a better job this year….
the first fkal of the year is this cute sweater
by tif neilan.
since we are allowed to change the yarn weight, i am going to try knitting it in lace weight for meg. the real question is, can i actually follow a pattern without making any changes?
happy star wars day!
i got crystal’s new baby yoda costume done just in time for star wars day
the ears are so big, she has trouble getting through doors, but she loves it anyway 🙂
crickets blue cape
cricket got a new cape as well,
i love how this one turned out!
she is standing on the seat of an old stage coach. she wanted to ride inside but they have it taped off till the state of emergency is over 🙁
annalise plays little red riding hood
we went for a walk around the neighborhood today. annalise thought she saw a wolf, and scrambled up a tree. luckily it was just a friendly german shepherd out for a walk as well, i think she has been reading too many fairy tales 😉
moss stitch pixie hat
made kiri a new spring hat. she seems to like it 🙂
she picked one of my newly covered spools to perch on
gnomes!
made some crocheted gnomes as christmas presents. here are a couple of my favs
spool decor the third
this stitch took forever! but i like how it looks handwoven when it is done.
third spool done. i didn’t have enough yarn to fill the whole spool so had to pad it with some scrap fabric first. i think the knit wraps about 4-5 times around
i probably could have padded it more,i have enough of the scrap fabric to do it, but i think it looks ok half full, what do you think?
spool decor 2
here is my second spool cover this one is taller and skinnier – about 6-1/2 inches
spools as decor
i have been collecting these spools for several years now, with the thought that i would cover them with knit or crocheted stitches as use them both as room decor and photo props for my girls to sit on. the esk stitch sampler kal prompted me to get off my butt and actually do it this year!
here is the first one covered with a cabled stitch in fingering yarn, it is about 5 inches tall
