Butterfly Bookmark

Isn't this cute? I crocheted it for a Bookmark Exchange. This was my first project using crochet thread and steel hooks.

You can get the pattern here:

Christmas 2006

I didn't get anywhere close to accomplishing the knitting/crocheting goals I had set for the holidays, so many of them have been reassigned to upcoming birthdays/anniversaries/etc. until further postponing is necessary. I did, however, finish the dropstitch scarves for our step-sisters, Becky & Rachel, which they are graciously modeling for me to post on this blog.


I also gave my Dad a crocheted eyeglass case for his special glasses as part of his gift, which is here, modeled by my dad and his flying lion tattoo:


I had a very relaxing Christmas break with family and I started on a couple projects that I'm still finishing up. I've also started some baby shower gifts. Pictures coming soon...

Look...Rachel's Knitting!

Our step-sister, Rachel, learned how to knit over the Christmas break. See...here she is knitting her first scarf:


And here it is finished & modeled beautifully by Rachel, who is officially a knitter now that she has actually started and finished a project!


Now we'll just have to see how long it takes her to finish the red scarf she started on now that she's moved on from size 17 needles... ;)
