stix and a ball of string....

Well....missed last month didn't I? December is always a very hectic month around our house. Trying to get all the year-end bookkeeping done....shipping out last minute TTT items...trying to decorate for the holiday season...planning family get-togethers...and.....finishing up handmade Christmas gifts. I am always saying every year that I am going to complete my knitted gifts early and every year I end up at the last minute trying to finish...have even been up on Christmas Eve some years. But anyway...the scarfs, hats, gloves, slippers and shawls were all done and wrapped in time for Christmas. And I even did a giftie for me! These lovely fingerless gloves are for me - knitted in worsted with No. 7 needles these are my little warmers and I love them :)

I just finished this vest for my elder at Pine Ridge Reservation. It was a very simple pattern - making a comfortable but warm vest. I got the pattern from a ball band on LB Woolease yarn.

It is crocheted with a K hook with two strands of yarn. It takes about 6 balls of woolease yarn and I used some scrap yarn for the trim.

The pattern called for pockets on the front but I omitted those since I wanted to put some stitching on the front. I am pleased with the way it turned out and hope to get it in the mail next week. It will feel really good with the cold temperatures that are happening right now in SD.

I have been working on some knitted cotton dishcloths this month too. I have gotten the dishcloth bug lately. I will post some photos of those next time as blogger is not wanting to do photos today...really slow ....lots of error messages ... so will do those next time.

Until then.....blessings and happy crafting.....
