sickly

So, I've been sick.

::sniffle::

This means staying in and knitting.

Lots of knitting.

And sewing.

Lots of sewing.

I finished the set of thrum mittens for the girl at work.
I love thrumming.
Seriously.
Oh, and the hairy arms are my husband's. FYI.

I finished the first of my Trekking XXL Cabled Socks.
I really enjoyed the water colour effect of this yarn.
Not so crazy about the feel of it though.
Hopefully it'll get softer after it's been washed.



And I cast and am 3/4 done the first of the Spinning Bunny Jaywalker Socks.
This yarn is gorgeous.
It feels great and it has this almost satin-type sheen to it.
Beautiful.

I am kicking some serious knitting ass.

As for sewing, I've made a bunch of the needle bags for Wendy.




I've also been trying to come up with a simple and inexpensive version of this nylon knit bag.


These are some of the fabrics I'm experimenting with.
I like the brown/pink/coffee bean one.

Did I mention I have two orders for the Cabbage Rose Swirl blankets I made at Christmas?

$150 each.

Nice.
