For you, Michael

I know, finally! This was a speedy knit until I realized there wasn't much more yarn for the sleeves. I put the project aside and cast on some other things. That's what you do when facing knitting challenges, right?
 
Once I was ready to work again on this, I divided the left over yarn in two balls and knitted the sleeves until I ran out of yarn

Michael, the recipient, arrived on Monday. The sweater was completed just in time.


Keep knitting & have a wonderful weekend.

FO: Hats of 2012

Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving day or plain Thursday, depending on your location.

I finished these hats a long time ago but waited until I had modeled pictures to post here. Well, my daughter did not sit still; the sheepy did. Let's debut the hats and move on.


The hats are 100% cotton. Not the warmest but good enough for short walks.


Yeah, gauge is important. Notice how well this toddler hat fits me. My heart is young but I'm not a baby.

I have my eye on these patterns for when the next hat fever attacks:
Stay warm!

Indie Craft Parade


It has been quiet here but busy in the neighborhood. Some bumps in the road have made it difficult to keep up with the blog. Thankfully, road trips have kept us out of the house and entertained.

I have been dragging the family to fall art festivals. First was the “Indie Craft Parade” in Geenville, South Carolina. I was really impressed by the display of talent at the historic Huguenot Mill, where the festival was held.

Some of my favorite booths:


My finds:

A "hand made" stamp



Oxidized silver jewelry



Art

I can spot the street where my work office is located; isn't that cool?

I will be posting about other festivals soon...for me to remember for you to discover.
