Preparing for the cold!
Hmm.. so I guess there's something about going on vacation that makes you not want to do anything anymore... I really haven't done much since I've come back from Hawaii. I haven't even blogged about it! But tomorrow I'm leaving for Vietnam and Cambodia, so it will be awhile before I blog again.
I wanted to make sure that I blogged about these finished objects (i know!). Living in California, I have to prepare for the cold. You know, rain and stuff like that.
The first thing is the Luxe Neck Warmer from Knit Two Together. I used Misti Alpaca Chunky. It was fun and fast to knit, but honestly I don't know if I'm going to use it much. Second we have the Koolhaas hat. This one I knit most of while I was in Hawaii. Not too bad once you get the hang of it. Lots of mistakes once the decreases started (the plane landed and I forgot where I was), but you can't tell. VERY cute, and I probably will get a lot of use out of it. Love the yarn, Malabrigo worsted in Frank Ochre. Lastly, a project that I started in Dec. 2006: KNUCKS. Even better, finished knucks! These are made with Rowan felted tweed. Lost one glove sometime in 2007, and it resurfaced early 2008, and they are finally done. HURRAY!
Lucy seems to think that last paragraph was too long. Maybe next time I'll blog before those finished projects stack up...
ps. Lucy does not usually walk around with her frisbee on her head. Someone decided it would be funny, and well, she's a good dog. :p

L-3 Reflections Abound
This block was easy-peasy! It was paper-pieced using freezer paper again. It's slightly wonky, but really, I'm ok with it.The fabric is Gold Foliage from Heather Ross' Lightning Bugs collection for Free Spirit.
I got a new Clover mini iron, and I am not sure if I like it. It's nice because it's not in they way and much easier to maneuver, but I think I like the heft of a normal iron to help with pressing. My hand kind of went numb after a while from gripping and pressing so hard. I guess I will see as I make more blocks...
