In with the old, Out with the new

In times of change and upheaval, it's only natural to cling onto some remnant of the past, something to ground you, remind you of simpler times and make you remember that it will all work out in the end. Usually this is something from the changee's own lifetime, however. So why have I just decided to make an entire quilt by hand? Perhaps I am overreacting a little. Hay que ver...

A Surprisingly Manly Scarf

Black, super chunky alpaca. Extremely cosy!

La Serenisima

A Hug and a Squeeze

My own pattern, based on (yet again) the squishy scarf. Using a figure of 8 cast on, knit in the round, with a plait threaded through the ribs at the top to close. Purple chunky alpaca. Very warm and snuggly :D

Grandpa

It can be difficult sewing for guys, especially things that aren't clothes. Hopefully this is practical enough, and geometric enough, that it will go down well :)

NouNou

Beautiful fabric, quilted by outlining the pattern. Very satisfying to do, especially as I'd been wanting to try this for a long time! And because my first attempts at free motion anything were... less than brilliant.... (break your foot!)

Xmas

Gluten free (almond) ginger bread men - ninjabread men! Sadly I have no idea which recipe I used.
