sister scarf and a confession

Tweet

A super long and skinny scarf for my sister's birthday! It's pretty cute and would look great on me but it's for her...

There's something to be said about the therapeutic effects of knitting. I love to zone out and knit! Meditative, indeed.

Ah, the confession? I can only knit. I can't purl. And I can't cast off. Not a great knitter, either. In fact, I have a message on my mothers' board to have someone help me finish it. Ha!

Felted Wool Sweater Slippers

Tweet

I have just been so inspired the past few days. A dear friend sent me a box of scraps, buttons, lace, and strange odds and ends. She thought I might think it junk, but, alas, it just makes more delightful CHINTZY COUTURE.

I have had this 25 cent sweater for ages but it had a few holes in it, making it unwearable for me.

I found a pattern for felted slippers on Ms. Martha Stewart's website and improvised. Check them out, I'm pretty proud of this accomplishment.

beauty for your wrist

All of these are gifts. And I must say it was hard to part with them today. I put them all on my wrist and it was FABULOUS. (Ignore the crumb on the second photo.)

I attached some silver milagros to each of them. Made me miss my old neighborhood and my barrio's shrines.

Nos vemos!

What an incredible season. All these years in the desert, I had no idea it was so beautiful.
