DandelionBoy has been doing a lot of painting lately, and I was inspired by my friend Nikole to do something interesting with his creations. A dear friend has been going through a very difficult time, so we made her this banner.
Tonight I’m prepping rectangles of fabric for a communal prayer flag crafting project at the annual Meadowfabulous campout this weekend. I look forward to sharing photos of how that turns out!
Highly improvised and somewhat Frankensteinian fingerless mitts. Plan to embroider “LOVE” on one set of knuckles and “LUST” on the other set, per husband’s request.
Happily we switched to “LOVE WINS” :)
Making these with a lighter yarn (fingering instead of sport) and #2 needles instead of #3. Hoping that baby will be able to wear them for 3-6 months at least.
I’m not usually patient with tiny needle projects, but the gorgeousness of this yarn and the slow color changes may keep me motivated.
I still haven’t quite mastered short rows, so there are a few imperfect spots, but they fit great and they’re so cute! And they were done so fast! Exactly what I needed to help fill the waiting time for this baby to arrive.
I didn’t have #10 DPNs, so I did the i-cord with #9s and it seemed fine. In fact, the bit that goes across the top as the strap ended up being a bit too long for my relatively narrow feet. I was able to frog a few rows and shorten it after the slippers were all done.
I'm jorielom on Ravelry.
Oh, I love it! What a wonderful idea! xoxo
And she loved the banner. She hung it with care to remind her of how loved she is, and how near to her heart her friends were even when they were three mountain passes away. :)
