My brain’s been on a vacation of sorts lately (too much internet and Mario Kart Wii. Weee!), but I have managed to craft a bit here and there.
Jewelry
Funny how obsessions from yesteryear pop back up from time to time. Sadly, when I pulled all those old materials and finished pieces out of storage I realized that many things needed to be tossed in the trash. All that needs to be said on that matter is this: silver-plated findings are evil, unless you like yellow.
Pearls, sterling silver, and Swarovski beads.
Lots of twisted wire, silver Celtic knots, druks, and Swarovski again. The beads are garnet colored.Crochet
I came across a few patterns for Tawashi (Japanese style dish scrubbers) and can feel the addiction already.
Slouchy hat. Really easy pattern.
Second rug: the man's shoes need a place, too.WIPs
Holey bag. This is a freestyled project (except the flower) that actually ended up how I wanted. It’s to be gifted, as pretty flowers and baby blue are not my style.
Sokka’s bag. Had to put this one aside for a while. It may end up getting frogged (to start anew) because I have a mental block against planning ahead and preventing major design flaws.
DK, finally! When this is finished, a post about it will follow. Double knitting is highly addictive and satisfying.That's it for now.
