Using these easy instructions, I made these earrings (+ some other pairs) using beads handmade in Ghana, plus some little blue ones I had from a stretched-out bracelet.

a little more snow (there is always more snow)

I dug this out (this plus one more snowstorm). It took 2 hours.



This is going to brain me:


Deep blue snow.

knitted ones and loved ones

RLY's apple cozy (now keeping apples everywhere warm [and unbruised-in-the-bag]) (I think this is a bit of leftover malabrigo):


LMV's fingerless gloves (misti alpaca bulky [brown], and leftovers from the kiddy hats):

(+ smooth doggy nose)


LTM's hat: I held the cream color double, the effect of which made the hat very cylindrical and probably too warm (leftover green from ALMcS's pompom hat, plus cream paton's classic wool, I think, and brown sheep bulky blue):


EEM's bday xmas tree scarf (misti alpaca handpaint bulky, garter stitch, size 13s):


+ xmas matching earband (headband? something), buttons courtesy of my mom's button box ("pattern" mine, inspired by PMcCMcS):

Scary spice, in use (+ doggy):


JEC's xmas scarf (more misti alpaca handpaint bulky yarn, garter stitch, size 13s):


The scarf in action, the picture also notable for being the scarf's recipient's wedding day to Mr. Cinch, there:


Happy.


The forced march through the xmas/birthday knitting is now complete. I now have to break myself of the video-viewing habit, which kept my brain in check while my fingers did the walking.
