Life on the beach

Next 😊😊

Andie said I should do a dress. Lol this wasn't the one I was planning on doing next but I already had the grey yarn out and I just made a purple vest so I think a new color was in order :)

Another one bites the dust

The purple yarn ran out so I trimmed it with grey. Looks beautiful. Can't wait to wear it!!






Because idle hands ....

Started 2 days ago ....

Almost finished. Should be done before ball tonight. 

Winter tree

Once my Canadian flag Mapleleaf Shawl was done I decided to make my Wintertree vest. 

I love how it turned out. Took me about 3 days to make. I hadn't intended to do it til the fall as it's done with 100% wool and is much more a 3 season vest then a summer one lol. But I LOVE IT!!!



Ohhhhh how many threads I had to weave in!!


Finished backside 




Oh canada!!

I loved the maple leaf shawl the moment I saw it listed on sopher creeks fb page. 

But when I went to buy the wool they didn't have enough red left. So I improvised. Used my Canadian-ish-ness and made it more flagish

It was also my first venture into blocking...


By far the most intricate work i've ever knit. 


Took about 5 days to make (full days!!)
18 pages of pattern instructions 


Mistakes made along the way and fixed as well. 


So many threads to weave ends!


Pre blocking


On a 4'x4' mat for blocking 

So many pins!!


Post blocking :)


Ooops been a month ish

Ok so i've been very busy just haven't been posting what i've made. 

So let's start back a ways. 


Another tanky vest thing

Love it worn over a regular sweater 



Yarn I bought at the knitters frolic ... Love the finished product. Actually I plan on making it again!

I'll do another post for the other two projects :)

So many things to knit ... So little time

And I stay home all day!!













And that's just what's new this week!  I've got so much more i want!!!!
