I’ve been working really hard to finish up some really old projects. They had been WIPs way too long and that had to come to an end. In a finish or frog it decision I decided to felt this mitten and make it a cat toy. It was too big and I was not [...] "I'm so handsome in my new sweater." "Finally! I get a sweater." Here’s the Rav link. This was really a fun project and happily it blocked out large since my gauge was off. He pranced around the back yard ready for his close-up. Big thanks to Lucky Penny Knits for a [...] Yeah! All the squares are done and now it’s onto collar and cuffs. A completed Yoda sweater for Max is on the horizon. Coco says she’s not jealous.

I figured out that she has quite the little barrel chest. I realized I may not have made this large enough, but instead of ripping I decided the smart thing to do was to put in a [...] So winter has for sure come upon us — it’s very clear and cold today. At least we are getting some sun today. I started a Coco sweater – the cold weather has urged me on since squeezing her into her old coats don’t seem to be an option this year. Unfortunately last [...] Not together of course… First up I changed the colors to purple, white and black for the Wintergreen Gloves (free Rav Pattern). These are coming along, but a little neglected at this point. Another neglected project are my slugs. I want to do two more and his one still needs lips and eyes… [...] |
