I have finished the first gift for the Winter Solstice/Christmas stash. Itty bitty little stitches...52" of them...
...I finally ironed it at 4:00 a.m. today so that I could make sure it wasn't all twisted before I cast off.
It seriously took me all of January to knit this tie, but I
love the finished product, and I know a certain little dapper fellow will too. Having said that, if I decide to make another, I don't think I will use sock yarn.
February's project is washcloths. I cast this one on according to the pattern (which called for 63 stitches of worsted weight cotton. It's
huge! I will finish this one the way it is, but the next couple will be cast on with maybe 43 stitches. I will pair them up with a pottery soap dish and a
bar of fantastic handmade soap. I am hoping to get four of these done this month.
On the pottery front - the first teapot pod (teapod?) is finished. N thinks it looks like a genie lamp, but I like it none-the-less. There will be more - possibly with a shorter spout. It's still drying.
Test spoons.
Test pods. Nothing is glazed yet.
And just because I thought this was hilarious...N was using this work space last night. A dremel, chisel, a bunch of very sharp utility knives and blades,
and a stuffed knit penquin! One of these things is not like the others. You may recognize
Linda's penquin.
I love your pottery and I love that N has a little fibery-ness in his project space. :-)
ReplyDeleteThe scarf is great... I certainly appreciate the speed that comes with bigger yarn, but I think I prefer the refine-ness that comes with finer yarn. ;-)
Maybe the Penguin was for company? LOL. Love the pottery!!!
ReplyDeleteYour pottery is beautiful. The tie is pretty cool too!
