I finished my first project for 2007.....its also my first completed Christmas present for Christmas 2007...
can't see the scale pattern very well....but I think it looks like scales..

started a new project, Thrummed mittens....
just working on the cuff...it is a K3P1 ribbing....

Ladie ready to go play and hunt rabbits in the snow....in his new coat and new boots....
which he promptly lost one of in his search for the rabbit he was chasing

Buttonhole Stitch Herringbone Stitch Both Stitches Ladie with his chew hoof....

This last week has seemed to go pretty quickly.....guess that is what happens when work is nicely busy (not crazy busy like it was)....and have just a normal level of other things going on

Today was my SCA meeting...it was pretty short....not much going on with the group..... We are having an event next weekend....it is just period games and a feast....should be fun....

My new years resolution of using my yarn and fiber stash and finishing started objects has started a new trend by some of my friends....Meghan is setting up a craft support group....it sounds like we will meet once a month one wednesday from 5 - 7 ish.....probably at some local coffee shops....or other places....depending on what we get into....but it will mostly be a place to gather and work on projects and chat.... :0)

My grandma's 90th birthday is this month....its either the 23 or 24th.....but they are having a party for her the last weekend of the month....but i am on call that weekend....and the party is in elk river, near minneapolis MN....way to far to go while on call.....

It snowed today....i think we have a couple of inches...light fluffy stuff....luckily it isn't windy or it would be whiteout conditions....

Take a Stitch Tuesday pictures....this week we had Buttonhole stitch... and i have a few pictures i took of the herringbone stitch

and a few pictures of Ladie with his new chew hoove.....

I will post the pictures in the next post so I don't have to try to figure out the HTML thingys....

Ok I figured out how to post pictures from my flickr acct....but I had to do it with HTML....so now it is one huge paragragh....so if anyone can tell me how to make this work better, let me know...

Thanks

I have had a busy week. Work has been crazy, as soon as one patient leaves, we are getting another patient....so it has been quite stressful for everyone At home I have been working on spinning, I have been spinning some purple/pink singles and plan to ply those with a ply of yellow/orange to make a 3 ply yarn....i'm not sure what the WPI will be when i am done, i'm not quite sure how to figure that out....oh well I also spun up some smaller than lace weight yarn/thread out of left over green yarn I posted last week...it is between 30-35 WPI....so more like thread...which is what i was going for....it is a 2 ply....i plan to do some in the purple/pink and yellow/orange as well at the same weight I am working on my first scarf for the year for the mens christmas stockings....it is grey and in the dragon scale pattern....it is quite nice....I'm not sure how long to make a mens scarf...so any input on the length would be appreciated....only 15 (or there abouts)more to go I am listening to http://www.three-elms.com/ geek farm life podcast today....back from pod cast #1...i am up to #9 right now...and they have a total of 44 episodes....it is a weekly podcast I made a kleenex cover this week, it is for a craft a long on crafster.org....i plan to make more of these when i have time...maybe for women stocking stuffers I joined take a stitch tuesday from http://www.inaminuteago.com/blog/ and this is my small attempt at playing with the herringbone stitch I also went to a card making class yesterday...I decided to get a few new stampin up sets....'words of wisdom' (for sympathy cards)...'like it a latte'....'acorns' (stampin up wheel)...and 'very punny' for free I have been thinking on doing a stitch monthly class for Borderdowns instead of the A&S nights....but I'm not sure if there would be enough interest....the night or weekend would be somewhat flexible as far as I am concerned...so if anyone has an opinion, let me know...
