Creations keeping me busy
 

I haven't been on in almost 3 weeks. I decided on 12/13 that I needed to get started on my gift-making. I started with the mail-away wine bags and mug rugs. I got the wine bag pattern from here http://www.needleandspatula.com/2011...-tutorial.html Then I knitted 5 sweaters. Whew, all done on time. One sweater ended up being too short... it was easier to knit a new one than fix the original, so I finished that yesterday. I think I will resolve to start earlier this year :)

You've been really busy but boy did it pay off. Your work is beautiful. The bags are very nice but I love the sweaters. You're very talented. Happy 2012!

Oh I just love all the sweaters. You really got a lot done in a very short period of time.

Everything is beautiful, your very talented.

Holy cow, you are amazing. I dont think I could ever come close to knitting a sweater. Ive really never understood knitting. I can crochet up a storm, but not knit. I applaud you!!

Wow wow wow......you are fast and good!!!!!!!!!!

Your knitting is so perfect! I keep working on knitting, but, piecing quilts is so much more my thing!

Oh my, you are very good at crafting. Love all of the gifts and will bet the recipients do/will as well.

All your gifts are amazingly beautiful and creative .... but those sweaters are outstanding. Congratulations! I envy your talents and skills.

My, you have been busy with some beautiful projects!
