Another year, another fingerless glove

I had the honor of making a few pairs of gloves this year for a sweet friend of mine. Its been what seems like a year since I last knit, so these gloves took some extra time. You know you are doing something that you love when all of the time and frustrations normally accompanied by tasks bring an exciting challenge.

Baby uggs

Its hard keeping up with a blog when you no longer have a working computer! I'm hoping to have that problem solved before too long because my pictures are piling up!

This is one of my xmas gifts I made for my newest niece. Too cute, right!

It should be cold, but wait... I live in the South!


Its been some time since I have blogged, or have even had time to knit, but I was lucky enough to pick up my needles and stitch away this past week. Its getting close to Christmas so I am starting to think of gifts. This may be what the little girls get this year! What are you guys coming up with for gifts?

So much for updating!

I just realized I hadn't posted in FOREVER!

I was granted an extension for making the items for the fundraiser, by about two weeks. With one day to spare I have to design my tags for my items and they will be ready to leave my hands! I ended up making the Fall Shawl, and two matching booties and hat sets. I'm very happy to have done this for my brother, and I am thrilled with how the items have turned out! Here's to hoping they are as well received!!
