I’m making a sweater, because we haven’t already seen me fail at large item knitting! This one is going much more smoothly though, and I actually have hope of finishing it in the near-ish future.
My brother left bananas in the car. When I found them, they were far too ripe to eat, but perfect for making banana bread with! Here is the recipe, so you too can do something with your brown bananas.
I’ve finally finished my Prickly gloves, and they rule, despite the fact that they’re uneven because of the difference in my skill between when I started and finished them.
I’m knitting a Cross Stitch Scarf from the book 101 Designer One-Skein Wonders, and to be honest, I’m not enjoying this knit. The pattern doesn’t make sense as written, and the yarn I chose is far too hairy. It looks pretty, at least.
Happy New Year everyone! I hope you all had a great time. In honor of the New Year, I present you with a new layout! I rather like it.
Over the weekend I made a few sets of coasters, and a cat toy. I’d like a new sewing machine, but mine still does the trick.
I made a couple of boxy pouches. They’re fun, and cute.
ZipperStop is a great place to get zippers. They will color-match your swatch, are fairly priced, and have quality zippers.
I found the most amazing blog post on The Crafty Penguin on these really pretty (and as it turns out, really yummy) vanilla sugar cookies with glace icing. My friend Sonia was here visiting, and we decided to attempt to make these cookies. “How hard could it be?”, we thought. Turns out, when you’re us, everything can go wrong!
