Finito!

My first round knitted dish cloth! This one took a lot of brain power. I did it in two sessions with a friend. You really need to concentrate with this pattern and right now that is hard for me, so I had my friend read out the stitches.

I hope I am brave enough to do more on my own because it really is impressive looking.

It's been awhile!

I have been having computer issues. My the hard drive in my new Dell laptop went and it is not even a year old! I know they don't make things to last but this is ridiculous! Anyhow, to keep sane, I was making some dishcloths to giveaway. Here are just a few.

They are basically square but are knitted diagonally.

Okay, so I think I have enough square dishcloths! I found this really pretty and impressive looking pattern that is basically wedges that end up into a circle. I can't wait to complete this, I see many many more.

I started a scarf with a really pretty patttern. I am using the wool that Jolie hand-dyed. I think this will take forever. I hope I have enough wool.

I have been sewing as well and hope to reveal some of those projects soon.

What's on the Table

Here is a sneak peek at what I am working on...

Stay tuned, for the mystery to be unveiled - duh - duh - duh - duh!!!

The Evolution of a Studio Chair

This is the chair I sit on when I am at the computer.

Originally I had planned to let more of the brown show through but it didn't work out and quite honestly, I got lazy. I told myself I would go back and work at it but I have been living with it for months now and have grown to love it. Next, I will make a cushion for it and my bum.

Inspiration Comes from many places

Introducing the Mobius Leather Rocker Bracelet Cuff

My new hobby of knitting has opened my eyes to many things. Inspired by the magical Mobius Strip by German mathematician, August Ferdinand Mobius; I have created my version with the use of leather.

One day I will actually knit a Mobius Wrap Shawl.

1st Finished Scarf - Knitting & Crochet

I started this scarf the first week of September from yarn I thrifted from Value Village.

The orange centre is knitted and I crocheted the outer trim. I was so happy when I finished it yesterday that I wore it the entire day.

Close up of the crochet trim I would love to make a shawl but I have to find a relatively easy pattern. I will take suggestions so feel free to share.

Second Chances

I believe in second chances, that is why I thrift shop wherever I can. I love visiting my favourite Value Village or Garage sale-ing. This little breadbox is now my...

Electronics hutch. It houses such things as my drill battery charger, blackberry chargers, digital camera charger, electric scissor charger - you get the picture!

Next you will see a mailbox that I found at the latest yard sale I went to. I painted it white (well it is actually just the primer). I can put my magnets on it and my little collectibles.

Inside is the perfect spot to place icky things like bills to be paid.

I can't forget to look at the bills because it sits right above my computer where I can be found waaay too often.

Have you given anything second chances lately?
