well it's that time of year again...
and well I always buy my cards and then I thought
why don't I try making them this year....
well there's a reason people buy cards...
although I think they are quite gorgeous,
they take absolutely forever, and
there go all my knitting projects
right out the proverbial window...
christmas gift knitting and all...
so normally I would have had lots to post tonight, but
all I have to show is a lot of pretty cards,
so here goes... and yes, a few cards don't take that long
but I am handpainting and adding snow and stuff,
and the inside with photo of children
is as decorated as the outside and
oh have to make about 80...well we'll
see how that goes..........
as for what's on the needles,
I am once again writing yet another
new pattern and here's a hint,
it is straight from a recent
Anthropologie catalogue. so far
so good, and for anyone that thinks
I've annoyed my cats far too much...
I am making them an unbelievably
extravagent gift...something
Crazy Aunt Purl would just purr about...
or at least all her cats...
pending............
as for finished projects...
I did the one skein of yarn
experiment, and thanks to Ravelry once again,
I had one skein of Noro Kereyon,
which I always say and spell wrong,
but the Noro people understand
what I mean...anyway made my first
Calimetry and love it...it is so warm
on cold days and I love the colors...
it won't be my last one, and it did not
take a whole ball of Noro, wondering
if you could get 2 of them out of one skein...
but anyway highly recommend this pattern,
it is from Knitty.com.
