Sparkly Scarf

Jeffy got me this yarn for Solstice and I started in on a scarf for myself not long after. It finally got finished - just in time for the warm weather! It will get well-used in the fall, though. It's right up my alley: all fall colours with a bit of sparkle thrown in. Delicious!

Love Blanket for Baby Leah

Continuing the tradition of Love Blankets made to celebrate major events in my cousins' lives (see wedding and first baby), I recently completed sewing together the Love Blanket for the arrival of their newest little one, baby Leah. As always, this is a group project wherein friends and relatives each knit or crochet a number of squares and send them to a central location (in this case, our house) and they get sewn together to make a relatively coherent whole. The blankets are always beautiful and colourful and filled with love. They're such a great gift, and I'm so glad that this tradition is carrying on. [The (fairly spartan) blog for this blanket is here.] Blessings and love to baby Leah and her amazing and wonderful family!

Nexus Case

Jeffy gave me a lovely Nexus tablet for my birthday and I am loving it. I wanted a case for it so I could cart it around with me, but I just couldn't bring myself to spend the $50 some places were charging for a boring and generic case. So - surprise, surprise - I decided to make my own. As usually happens with my projects, the idea percolated around in my mind for a while and then this morning I made this little beauty out of bits from the stash. It was fun to make and snuggles my Nexus just perfectly. I'm super-pleased.

Baby Booties

Some dear friends just had their second baby. When I asked them if they wanted any knitted items, the request came in: "More of those booties, please! They're the only ones that stay on!" I was delighted to oblige.
