Lest You Think I've Been Lazy

Something about snow on the ground and low temperatures makes me want to knit, so I've been doing some stash busting. As with sewing, I have the hardest time deciding which yarn to use with which pattern, so I started with some of my least favorite yarns and made some scarves to donate to charity. With these textured yarns, I stick to simple garter stitch, because nothing shows up anyway.



Don't those fence posts look warm? I'm definitely not a knitting enthusiast, but it is nice to get something done while watching tv or riding in the car.

I've also had a few requests for handbags. For the top one, the request was for "greens and browns" for "a retro girl." I hope it fills the bill! I love how the bottom one came out. The no-wale corduroy looks almost like suede.



And finally...aprons! I have one done and three in the works.

"Ward?! Dinner will be ready in ten minutes. We're having pineapple upside down cake for dessert. Your favorite."

I still lust after that purse. I cannot sew though. If I ever come across just the right fabric I am going to talk bff in to making it
