Baby, It's Cold Outside!

With these bouncing temperatures here in good ol' Tennessee (60s yesterday, 20s today), maybe I could learn to love headwear. This is the Calorimetry I made as a gift, but thought it was too bulky. When I tried it on again, I kinda liked it. What do you think? (Honestly?)

Lazy dazy weekend

We've had such a laid back, lazy weekend. I haven't been away from the house since I pulled in the driveway on Friday night. My husband and oldest daughter were sick, and I wasn't feeling too well myself, so we just laid around most of the time.

I knit and knit and knit and knit. I made another Calorimetry -- this one out of some leftover Bernat Boucle that I've had forever. The resulting fabric is very pretty, but it's just too thick for a headband. I'll probably end up frogging it, but it was fun working it.

Then I made another smaller Calorimetry with some Sassy Stripes I've had for about 3 years. It was too tight for me, but made a perfect neck warmer for Sammy (who has suddenly become camera-shy).

Then I couldn't leave Rosco out of the fun. I made him a kerchief out of discloth cotton. He's not quite sure if he's the accessorizing type yet.

And, finally, I started some socks with this gorgeous Wildfoote that I bought at the cutest little yarn shop in Gatlinburg back in the fall. These are for me!

Felting is so much fun!

As I posted previously, I finished my French Market Bag. Here it is pre-felting:



and post-felting:



I just love it. I'm very very very late jumping on the felting bandwagon. My knitting pal Liana has been doing this stuff forever. But, better late than never.

I'll definitely be doing more of this.
