Knitting resolutions
Here we are - January again. Time to think about being a better person this year...well...at least a better knitter. Okay...more organized knitter anyway.
Resolution: to finish my UFOs and use up at least half my stash before buying new yarn. Phew. Did I actually say that out loud? It's going to be a tall order considering I received a lovely Beehive gift certificate for Xmas. I suppose I can employ the gift cert as my carrot in this case.
Here's some other cute stuff I got for Xmas from
selfknitter who also happens to be a close relation of mine.
These are tiny 1" high sheepies. Way cute, absolutely useless, but super lovable!
These are really really tiny sheepy stitch markers. Each one is about fingernail size. Don't you love the black one?
This is a simply fab sheepy tote that
selfknitter made just pour moi. She needlefelted the sheep on the front. It has a side pocket too! Right now it's full of natural wool yarn to make the Lambchop pattern (remember Shari Lewis and Lambchop?) she also found for me.
How cute is she?
Here's my Cowichan Teddy Sweater:
and back
The pattern is a freebie from Interweave: http://www.knittingdaily.com/freepatterns/christmas_holiday/250-1.html
The teddy and sweater went to my mummy's extensive teddy collection. : - )
Hope everyone had a happy holiday!
School starts in two hours! Yikes! Gotta go...
Cheers, Nicole
