Friday evening I was quick to rush home, but first we had to make a stop at Jeremy and Tiff's place for a little din din. They made some fantastic tenderloin sandwiches and homemade pizza - OUT OF THIS WORLD!!
Though it was almost bedtime by the time I got home I was still very excited - the mail had come, and with it more Christmas presents! With my gift certificates, a $10 off coupon, my 'rewards' card and additional discounts I was able to a shop for a few of the books on my wish list.
From my bedside pile above I got 30 Colourful Quilt & Patchwork Projects, Simple Sewing with a French Twist, Super Crafty (here too) and Last Minute Knitted Gifts. I'm quite excited to try my hand a few of the projects I flipped by - pictures first, reading later. I think I might try my hand at the apron in Quilts.... I know of a couple people who might appreciate it for a gift.
WIP - when my husband made up my new craft room, I finally had a chance to go through about 3/4 of my yarn to see what exactly I have - LOTS! is what I have. I've been dying to knit something, but it had to be quick and simply satisfying. Something I could take on the train, or I could do while watching my favorite programs... I remembered this little hoodie from Nursery Knits... It was perfect and I had just the right amount of yarn in my stash.
I got the back and left front done in a week so, I hope to have it complete before we roll into February. Because, I'm using an acrylic I thought it would be nice to line is with some cuddly warm flannel. Perfect for a valentine's gift don't you think - Hugs from Auntie:)
Hi! Thanks for commenting on my blog. I am very envious of your knitting skills. I'm very new at it so still pretty slow. The hoodie is going to be great!
