Back to it.

I thought I would try to "catch up" with all if the things I have done since the last time I blogged, but then I  realized l would never do it if I tried to climb that mountain. So hopefully I can just keeo up with current stuff from here on out.
Lately I have been knitting and spinning:

This one is a single lock of wool spun thread weight and knit into a tiny dress on tiny needles.

This is a second pairs of fingerless mitts I made out of scraps. The cuff is handspun and hand bit is store bought.

Whittling

Did I spell that right? I have nary a clue but I am almost finished with my WIPs (Works in progress). I have been freeing up needles left and right and only currently have two projects in the works right now - the shawl and a pair of socks. I am seriously considering frogging (rip-it-rip-it-rip-it) the socks too. I am sticking it out for a bit but I think I just want some mindless knitting and though these socks are easy peasy, I do have to pay attention. So...here is the finished scarf and the finished mitts:
I might go start a pair of socks for Jacob out of my leftover yarn from my last pair of socks.
Actually come to think of it if I really want to be clearing up projects I should finish up some of the spinning I have started or some of the bears that are in the works...I do plan on sewing today, I am just not sure what project it will be on...hmmm there is also a quilt I have that is nearly done too. We'll tune in again for the exciting conclusion of what the heck did she decide to work on...(really I know you are on the edge of your seat).

Startitis? at least it's followed by Finishitis

For some reason I have been feeling the need to whip out quick easy projects. I think it's because I want to continue the 'high' I got from completing my last pair of socks...so first I made the socks for Abby then I made a headband for myself. Originally it was going to be a hat for me and I realized I didn't have even close to enough yarn for that. Then it was going to be a hat for Abby. Again, realized I didn't have enough yarn for that either. So it became a headband. I couldn't find a pattern that I liked so I eventually made up my own pattern and it came out pretty well even though they coloring of the yarn kinda makes it hard to see:

Then I decided that I was probably never going to finish this scarf:
So I grabbed the unused end of one of the balls of yarn and cast on for a fingerless mitt. I wanted to be sure I had enough yarn before I cut it because if it wasn't going to work I decided just to stick out the scarf. Well, it worked beautifully!
So now I am working on the second mitt from the other ball of yarn. When that is done I will still have both remnants of the yarn attatched to the scarf so I will be able to finish them up in the scarf and there will be zero waste yarn.
