A girl's gotta have a new dress for the New Year.....

Too shy....

And just when I'm in the middle of doing laundry, and cleaning the bathroom....everything had to stop. I had a hankering to make Noodles a bracelet, and take some pictures. This looked pretty on her for two seconds, and then it ended up being a toy that rolls along the floor really nice.

What was completed over the Christmas holidays. Drops Design Pattern No.116-7. Free from Garnstudio.Snow Glade Mittens by Patricia Lewis. I'm using my own handspun Alpaca for the white, and the green contrasting yarn is Noro Kureyon Sock yarn. I'm using 6" Harmony 2.25 dpn's from Knit Picks. Love these double points.

Wishing you a Happy New Year and All the Best for 2010!!

Baby it's cold outside........

-27 Celsius this morning and the frost was on the windows. No going outside for the kitties today!I just love the lace like effect on windows. When working on my stained glass projects my favourite glass has to be glue-chip which is the same as what frost on a window looks like.

On to my next obsession which is getting some mittens knit up. Drops Design pattern No. 116-7 from Garnstudio.com pattern. Everytime I go on this website I feel like I need to shout it out.....all these designs are free for the taking people!! So I'm rockin' with Drops patterns right now. I'm using Noro Kureyon, colour 194. The long colour changes make for a really interesting mitten. The black is from my stash, Gaella Irish worsted knitting wool. Front view of mitten.

Back view or the palm side of mitten. Still have to finish the thumb and then block it. I've started the second mitt while we were watching the Canadian Curling Olympic play offs here in Edmonton.

Finished project which I blogged about earlier....yup I am finishing stuff around here.

I'm lovin the cables right now, and I would be further along on this if it wouldn't be for the mittens right now...yeah I'll blame it on the mittens ;)

A quick video of who keeps my lap warm while I'm on the computer. My sweet Noodles.
