christmas gift for cousin Mike, along with a stainless steel Moka pot just like Paul’s.
this was inspired by the article on them in the winter 2006 issue of Quilting Arts Magazine.

gifts for Kim’s shower. silver rattle, newborn umbilical cord hat, and photo album.all 3 cousins (sisters) had baby showers this year. all 3 got hats, rattles, and albums… i wish i had gotten photos of the other 2 sets.
my MIL and SIL both have made this bag before and i have been coveting it…
this was my first experience felting. this was also my largest finished knitted project so far. i’ve done hats and scarves, etc… and i have a cabled sweater in progress but this counts as the biggest finished. i took the opportunity to learn to knit continental style while working on all those knit knit knit rounds.
the embellished detail was a complete experiment. i thought i knew what would happen when i felted (and i was right!) but i hadn’t seen anything like it… so it was a complete leap of faith!
the vine detail was backstitched (embroidered) onto the bag after I finished knitting, but before felting.

Paul called 3 times during the day to ask if I had started working on the eggs yet today… I was really getting annoyed at him for adding to the pressure!
then I did finish up with the cleaning and start on pysanky… and this is what I found!
