I knit, spin, dye yarns/fibers and sew as well. Baking, too. I've been practicing special occasion cakes because I'm convinced when I finally get married I'm going to make my own cake LOL.
I'm starting to get into gift mood now for Christmas. Sewing wise I do alot of purses and totes for myself and gifts (I love buying patterns off Etsy! I buy so many patterns then never have the time to actually make them all LOL).
Knitting wise, I did alot of
French Press Felted Slippers last year. I'll probably make more this year because some of family members heard I was making slippers for Xmas gifts and let me know ahead of time they didn't want slippers, but then when they saw how cute and stylish they were they regretted not getting a pair LOL.
Breckenridge Cowl is another pattern I'll probably use for gifts this year. I just finished one for a Birthday gift (just need to put buttons on). I also just finished a
Just Enough Ruffles Scarf that will be someone's XMas gift.
For myself, I have the pattern for
Peaks Island Hood and I need to choose a yarn and buy it so I make one for myself
I love Ysolda Teague's Designs. OMG, the Opera Gloves... I want to make a pair so bad!
I'm also going to start a
Travelling Woman this week... I have a few yarns that will work, just need to make my final choice. This will be my first shawl
I'd love to see pics of what everyone is doing... I wish I could share but I don't have a camera at the moment LOL.
