Winter Absence
I haven’t meant to be so absent from the blog these last few months. With the snow we’ve had this winter, I’ve wanted to nest inside. I’ve been reading a lot, sewing a bit and knitting a bit.
In late January, I took an embroidery class that I loved. I think embroidery on small things will come in very handy. The class now has me wanting to take more quilting classes.
Just before Christmas, we moved my mother’s and sister’s childhood desk up to the second floor that we’re using as our crafting area. Bryan has his workspace for collages and I have the pie safe full of yarns and fabrics, this desk and a sewing table set up. It’s the perfect space in the front dormer of the house.
The Vancouver Olympics start this weekend and I know that my knitting time will be greatly increased. My Olympic knitting goal is to finish the much-needed mittens I started for Bryan in December.
(Mitten 1 when it was in progress)
I have finished mitten 1 and am up to the first red band on mitten 2. What I love about the Olympics is that I get caught up in sports that I wouldn’t normally watch on my own.
If I get the mittens finished, I hope to get some more of Bryan’s Saddle Shoulder Cardigan knit.
