283 Projects

I made this little doily in the last week to help me get through the last bit of grad school. This is it being blocked.


Also:

I apologize for not posting more. I have finished my poncho, but my camera is broken (the picture above was taken with photobooth), and also, things be crazy at school! However, I will soon be done (FOREVER!!!) and intend on treating myself to a new camera before I go on vacation in June (*cough* *cough* unless someone *cough* wants to *cough* get me a graduation present...*cough* *ahem* *cough* *cough*)

As I near the end of my little poncho project (photos soon I promise!) I started to look for other vintage patterns for my next knitting projects. I discovered Karen's Variety which has a lot of great vintage and antique patterns for sale at very reasonable prices. I bought three pattern books that I really look forward to working on. Anyone who like vintage knitting or small gauge knitting should really give her website a visit. :)

Yes, I still havent gotten the scanner to work yet so I can post the pattern for my last sweater. AND I still havent gotten buttons for that one, though Ive already been wearing it!

Anywhoo...here is my current project. Pics to come. Ive done about 13 inches of the back so far.

I'm please to announce that, based on the success of my recent Valentines Making Party, I have decided to try and incorporate a small craft circle for regular events.

The 283 Ladies Crafting Circle is an attempt to both pay homage to and to resurrect the craft circle as a social institution. We hope to host a variety of events to bring together both women and men (while we are called a "ladies" craft circle, we do not discriminate based on gender) who desire greater sense of community and opportunities for crafting.

Just wanted to share this. It was taken by my friend Mark (http://www.markchampionphotography.com) on Christmas Day. Im spinning an aquamarine yarn. Pics of that to come soon!
