With winter comes yarn

This year, between family and friends, we will be welcoming  four babies.  Since the weather has been cold, to say the least,  I've been spending as much time as possible curled up under a blanket, making a blanket.  My cousin is having her first baby, a boy- for them I made a blue ripple .  I love these colors.

I haven't decided if the blanket I'm currently making will be for other cousins or the family friend, but I am enjoying the soft neutral colors.

After so much knitting, I took a break to make some fleece blankets for my girls. Pictures of them are up on our Facebook 

page. 

I hope you are finding ways to enjoy this weather while it lasts.  Enjoy a mug of coca or a cup of tea and check back soon for a blanket buddy I've about finished for the cottage.

Here's a preview of the little guy.

Chainmail Bracelet

Finally got a chainmail bracelet finished and placed on etsy.  Who knew it would be so hard to photograph one tiny bracelet.  I'm just starting to learn how to do some chainmail.  It's amazing how the older you get the smaller the jumprings are.  I was asked if I could make another bracelet for a man so I'm trying to work on that.  I will share pictures when I get it done.

 

 

 

 

 

We have had quite a bit of snow this week.  I hope everyone is staying safe and warm.  Found bunny tracks in the snow.  Was going to put a picture up but it just won't come up. I will figure it out and post it later. 

 

Have a litter of kittens who were born with heart problems and I lost one of them yesterday.  Well, they aren't kittens anymore as they are 8.  I ended up keeping them when told if I didn't they would all be put down. 

 

Working on a baby blanket for etsy next.
