Soap!

Can you guess what J. and I are making this evening?

I've posted this before back in July (this post) too. We absolutely LOVE this stuff. 

J. grating! 

Recipe from Being Creative.

Mercury

I love working with double pointed needles, so when I stumbled upon this pattern on Ravelry, I jumped at the chance to knit. I had the perfect yarn picked out, too! It's a very simple pattern, basic stuff!

I know I've mentioned that my wrist has been a giant bummer for nearly a year. I was able to do a few small cloths around Christmas, but not much more.  I'm happy that this project has been pain free, without using IcyHot, so hopefully I'll be able to finish the second fingerless mitten in the next day or so.

Baby, baby..

I love making baby items because 1) they're so stinking cute and 2) they knit up rather quickly. Last Friday, I was commissioned by my friend Gwen to make something that she could give to her cousin who is due in 2 weeks. She told me she'd like a hat and to use my judgement on what I thought would be cute.

I made the hat Saturday-Sunday and since she's not meeting me until tomorrow to pick it up, I made leg-warmers yesterday. I hope the new mother-to-be will love them!

Angel

On Thursday morning, I was gifted this sweet little angel craft from a coworker, Karin. I sewed her up yesterday, and I think she's so cute!

My stitching is not perfect, but I think it's still sweet. The example has a face, but I was afraid I'd mess her up if I drew on her.

Market tote

Apologies for not posting lately, but this project has been taking me a while to complete. I don't love the colors I chose for this (crappy picture too) but I think it's a cute bag and it will be nice for small trips to the store or the Farmer's Market.

For photo purposes, the bag contains a small milk, squeezable Welch's jam, and two cans of soup!
