Flower for Grandmot

Still struggling to get the mittens for Cindy done before spring. Could it be because of all the little side projects? For Grandmot's birthday I knit her a flower brooch from a variety of pretty yarns in my stash. This is a take on the basic flower from Nicky Epstein's book, Knitted Flowers.

Thoughts of spring, and a flower for your lapel (and a bit more yarn out of the stash). Cast one on now!

New Year Relief

The end of 2008 was a 'challenge', but as we are in the new year, let's leave all that behind and hope for something better in 2009.

Now that the holidays are over with, I can post some fun photos of some of what kept me busy and prevented me from working on my WIPs over the last two months.

Here is a photo of some of the Jayne hat recipients from this holiday knitting mania.

Thanks for sharing your photo, Jason, CC and Joseph - looks too warm there in Dali, China for them, alas! Jealous here in chilly Boston....


And here is the belated holiday gift still on my needles for my sister - should be great if I ever get them done!


Can you guess what this will be?
