Whoops! Things have been super crazy around here and of course I wasn't joking when I said that I procrastinate (but I'm working on it!), soooo better late than never.....
Happy (really really belated) holidays!
I also started to knit a terrible scarf with it... hopefully I'll finish it before spring...
Among my Christmas presents this year was a case of new Windsor Newtown Inks....
(The Blue and the Red are my favorites, the Orange and Brown are horrible)
.... a Sunprint Kit from my Pollyanna at work, which I was over the moon to get. I don't think she realized that I used to love doing Sunprints as a kid!
....and the biggest one of all (which isn't at all big now that I think of it)
A new Cricket Loom!
(which I have to set up to start weaving soon! Only problem is that I kind of hate warping....)
To wrap up this belated post here's part of the Pollyanna gift I gave - A mini wreath!
First off, no one had the nice actual wreath shapes so I finagled it with some hot glue and cotton balls...
Next came the fun part of wrapping it up evenly in yarn...
and then finally knitting the bow, which I have to say, is not my strong suit but I have a simple way of making bows. I knit a long thin piece, long enough to wrap around the wreath, and stitch that piece up. Then I knit a shorter yet wider piece...
...and then wrapping yarn around the middle of the rectangle to form a bow!
All that's left is to stitch the newly formed bow to the wreath....Tadaa!
and another shot for good measure!
and here's one last bonus holiday craft....Christmas rainbow cupcakes!
