garter stitch elephant- one of my gifts
I got the pattern from here: http://www.angelfire.com/art2/oasisguild/news2_5.html#pattern

I knit up all the pieces, including the blanket that was supposed to be on top of him ahead of time, and finished stitching him up at the restaurant before the guest of honor arrived. Unfortunately the blankie was too small, so the pachyderm must go with out.

Frontier Hat is complete!

French market bag is complete!

Oh My! Just had to share this cute comic! it's Alex approved :)

Well, The "thing" is coming along nicely even though I forgot to the stripes in the ribbing. It's exciting as the end is near and I feel more confident that I WILL be able to knit myself at least 2 garments for the spring and summer from the most recent Vogue Knitting magazine.
Will have to do some paper crafts today to meet some deadlines and new pictures will be up sometime this week.

Trinity stitch. This was going to be a cushion, but I decided to frog it today so i can use it to create my "thing"(the sweater sampler from Jacqueline Fee)

Greek Goddess book from Newbie RR. I chose Demeter. I used various pastel chalks on the pages, attached the transparency with mini-brads and composed a short verse about her following the Febonacci sequence(1,1,2,3,5,8)

I'm slowly getting the hang of this 'blog' thing. If you know of cool stuff to insert(like my weather pixie) please let me know!


Well i'm almost done with two knitting projects.

Last night I purchased lots of fiber at ACMOORE's sale in anticipation of my next projects.



Gotta go do some 'real' work, pay some bills, and scrapbook a bit.
