It's a Bird! It's a Plane! It's...Super Scarf!

     A couple of months ago, I received an email from one of the crafty things I do and it included a pattern for a knit super scarf. It looked easy to knit, which was good as I'm still learning, and cozy to wear, so I figured I'd make one.
     I bought the yarn and needles I needed to make the scarf and set to work. As I hadn't knitted in awhile, it made muscles hurt that I didn't know I had! It took me quite awhile as the the scarf is longer than I am tall (and I'm 5'10"!), but I think it turned out alright! There was a small issue with one part of the yarn, where it was thinner than the rest of the skein, so it looks like the scarf has a stripe, but other than that, I'm pleased with the way it turned out.

     All in all, I'm very pleased with the way this has turned out. I'm making another in a soft blue-green color as well since this turned out so well. I'm hoping to sell them both on Etsy, but for now, I just have this one up for sale. Here's the link in case anyone is interested.

It's a Chalkboard Christmas!

     This last post-holiday shopping at my local craft store netted me two very cute Christmas cross stitch kits at a great price. They came with white plastic frames, which are cute, but my only complaint is they don't have glass, which makes the finished project not lay as flat as I would like. I may have to invest in another frame, but for now, this frame will do.
      The piece was easy to do and I was able to finish it in about 4 hours, give or take a few minutes. I did have to undo some of it, since I counted wrong, but luckily, it wasn't that much. This project could easily be adapted to say, "Merry Yule" as well, since the symbolism is the same. I may have to try that out as well.

Merry Christmas Reindeer

     I'm working on finishing a Halloween project and starting a new Christmas one as well. I'll be posting more as I finish them!
