Looks like I will be busy knitting and crocheting for Christmas this year. I should have started last month, but between having to move to a 5th wheel trailer, and starting up college again, I've been more than " a little busy".
I started what I call a "using up my stash" crochet project. It will be a nice sized afghan, but I am using a large hook and double yarn, so I'm calling it a 'blanket'. I have lots of left-over hairy yarn and sparkly yarn that was popular not too long ago. It's hard to believe that yarn of this day and age have "trends".
Plus, I'm knitting a nice set of wristwarmers out of Mountain Colors "peacock" on 4 needles in a 3x1 rib. I just used a gauge from the swatch I knit with the needles. Looks like they will turn out pretty. I hope the recipient loves them!
Finally, I started back into brainstorming another wall quilt for the Gallery before they give up on me. I've tried to incorporate a vintage Native American print with some corresponding solids and some bead and applique' work.
But for now, here is a few pics of the wristwarmers in progress and my deck that Uncle help me build. Thanks, Bruce!
