Gotta Make …

This was a really quick knit. Fun, too. I wouldn’t buy this yarn (Katia Florida) again, though. The yarn was brand new but one ball had strange brown stains and another had a huge knot about 2yds in that had to be cut out. I do plan to use this pattern again, though. I want to make a longer one, with elbow length sleeves, in a lighter weight yarn. You can find the pattern here or if you are a Ravelry member it is here. If you’re a knitter and you’re not a Ravelry member, then what are you waiting for? Ysolda designs such cute patterns. I hope to make her Coraline soon.

Yep, I realize that most of my photos on here are now missing. I had a bit of a gallery catastrophe and haven’t had a chance to do anything about it. I’ll get the gallery back up as soon as I can, but the old thumbnails and links will likely remain broken. *sigh* You’ll still be able to find any of the pics by going straight to the gallery and digging around, but not until I get it reinstalled. Sorry!

Remember that altered notebook swap with the Asian theme? Well, this is the beautiful notebook I received from my swap partner, Kathy L. It is actually a little scrapbook and has nice heavy paper so I will use it as a sketchbook/journal. The scanner can’t capture the beautiful gold of the leaves and cording, but trust me, it’s perfect!

I finished a small knitting project last night, so I’ll try to get a photo of that later today.

I decided to spend some time on my Zazzle shop and add some new items. I just finished a new Boxer portrait and have added T-shirts, Mugs and Bags featuring it. Other items can be requested, as well.

I altered the covers of this small notebook for a swap in one of my groups. It didn’t scan very well, but it did come out very nice. The theme was Asian. Can’t wait to see the one I get in return.
