There's Been Knitting

Here is the February Lady in Red. I had to wait for the longer cord to come from Knit Picks (I'm using options needles -- LOVE them).

I have a ways to go, but so far I know she fits me. You might recall that I have in past overestimated my size and made garments that were too big for me and I ended up annoyed. Frogging the tomato was actually a relief because I knew I could make something better with the yarn (Blue Sky Alpacas Dyed Cotton in Tomato). I am, after all, a product knitter, rather than a process knitter.

I've also almost finished my Comfy Toddler Poncho which I will write up and put on Ravelry. Plan is to put a picot trim on the bottom edge (I don't really like fringe so much). The colors are a little off because there wasn't enough light for the photo, but you get the idea.


I've also been making little sewn projects...here is one of the eye pillows, which I think I might start selling on Etsy. Not sure yet.

Happy Valentine's Day!

    I'm about to cut the fabrics for my first quilt - well, placement in quilt format!

    I saw your message on my blog about the benefit for Alanna - thank you so much. :)
