Smittens In July

We did another round of smitten swaps. I had my first one sent out before anyone else in the group which is a first for me. My other 2 went out a few days later. None of them have arrived yet, but I haven't had one not arrive. Waiting for mine to arrive and then I can take a new photo with 3 new smittens. If we do more swaps my goal is to have at least 21 of them this year.

The first smitten arrived from the UK!

Sock Loom

So I have had this sock loom for several years.  Shortly after getting it I watched the video and tried to start my first project on it. I never got past the second row.  The video was too complicated to follow.

Thankfully I have found a great loom knitting group on Ravelry.  So this priject that has sat for about 4 years may be coming off the loom and getting a fresh start.

Box of colour

So I just recieved my box of colour swap package.  It came from another knitter on ravelry, Knitty78.  Photos below of all the awesome items.

Project Bags

So I decided that instead of purchasing project bags (as I always have several knitting projects on the go) that I would use up some of my non Society For Creative Anachronism fabric into project bags. First I had to hunt down a suitable pattern. Next pick what fabric I wanted to start with. Next make a pattern modification.... and now cut and sew.

Smittens In July

The next round of smitten swapping is happening over at Ravelry. I have 3 smittens to knit and get in the mail by the end of July. Good thing these are quick knits.
