At this time of year I usually get into HIGH gear
as I finish all the homemade gifts that I WANT to give away.
After all....
Handmade is special!!
Are you scurrying around too???
This week I'll probably do a little bit more knitting.
I try to use what I have!
I dig around here and try to find yarn and fabric that suits the project
and the person!
I don't collect fabric and yarn much...
but...let me tell you...
It doesn't take LONG to acquire a MASS of RAW ingredients
for all my creative pursuits!
;)
I've been going between TWO baby vest patterns...
trying to decide which I like best.
Fall vest??? knit top down
Or
Plain vest??? knit bottom to top
The advantage to the first is that I did NOT have to figure out the decrease rows.
I don't like fiddling with the numbers. AT. All.
This week I may try to get some of my yarns to
HARMONIZE.
It might take some doing.....
but I want to try!
What are you doing this week??
The little red one is so cute....and just the colour of my cherries!
ReplyDeleteI will be knitting away this week in between work and meetings and commitments. Enjoy your making time.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your holiday gifts. I have one quilt that needs to be bound this week so it's ready to ship for Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing what you come up with as you get your yarn to play nicely together.
ReplyDeleteI'm gearing up my sock knitting frenzy for Christmas -- have two addicted-to-hand-knit-socks grandchildren!! Enjoy making them -- fast and just a short seam to stitch up at the end!!
ReplyDeleteooh a knitter too! That little cherry red vest is darling. I don't think I could decide between the two patterns either. Go for fastest! Happy knitting.
ReplyDeleteI love the fall vest. I have never learned to knit but keep thinking it would be a great thing to know and easier to carry around than hand quilting.
