Yarn Report

This week I crocheted the Elegant Hat by Kim Guzman, which is a free download on Ravelry.



My grandson wanted to see it when I finished, so when he put it on I snapped a picture of him. I made it for myself, but neither of my two teenage grandchildren liked it on me; they said it was too old lady-ish, and I should wait a couple of decades before wearing it. I think the real problem is that I just don't look good in hats. :/

I really need to concentrate now on finishing Poema and Sawtelle, because Vera Sanon has a KAL starting in January that I want to join. Of course, I don't have enough yardage on anything in my stash, so I'll have to order yarn (or buy it locally).

Yarn Report

Several people at church are expecting babies, so this week I bought four skeins of yarn to make baby hats. I got one hat finished, and also knitted some more on Poema. I wish I could knit faster.

Sweetie Pie

I finished my Sweetie Pie quilt. It's lap size -- 54" x 66". This was the first time I sewed the binding on the machine instead of by hand. It looks fine on the front, but on the back of the quilt the seam looks a little wobbly in places. Nevertheless, I'm going to continue machine-sewing the binding for most of my quilts, because it's so much faster than hand-sewing.

Yarn Report


This week I used some more of my decades-old stash of acrylic yarn to make these slippers. Now my feet will be toasty during the cold weather. Even though I hate working with this old squeaky acrylic, it does make me feel slightly virtuous by using it up instead of buying new. :)  Now I really need to get back to working on the two sweaters I have in progress.
