    Default 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!

    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!!

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