Holiday Crafting Begins (in earnest)

The second Hemlock Ring Blanket was finished and blocked this weekend.




I went to Collage with my friend Sarah who knows a lot about paper crafts. I bought supplies to make my own holiday gift tags.



I have avoided this store up until now because I knew it would be dangerous. They have such beautiful craft supplies and lots of things with bird motifs which I absolutely cannot resist.




The second Shetland Triangle is almost finished! I wish I had another three days to knit and be crafty and have lunch with friends.

Pedro Gets a New Shirt

The Hemlock Ring is still drying on the bed, I put a fan on it so hopefully it will be truly dry before bedtime. considering how many mistakes I made in this pattern really early on, it was quite forgiving. I can see them but the overall 'experience' of the blanket is great. I am looking forward to test snuggling it on the couch.
I'm making another one in 'Mocha' hopefully with fewer mistakes this time.







Pedro got a new shirt from his Grandma today!
