friday fo
Good morning! Just a couple of goodies for you today.
first, my scrunchable scarf that I had lost, I finally found so I could weave in the ends & take a pic
I finally finished a freeform lapghan (for charity)
I really like how this one came out, do you?
What have you finished lately?
vintage patterns week 6
from 1942. Can you imagine what was going on in the world when this magazine was published?
Here’s another ww2 era magazine
now a little newer
love the hairdo

Double Bump Dishcloth is done!
with the yarn ends still dangling off the squares, I also managed to finish 3 “More V’s please” for one of the Ravelry cals
vintage patterns
happy birthday to me! Since it’s vintage day, how about a vintage birthday photo?
here we go again for another installment!
these are all from the 50s
video
Have you seen this video? It’s been going around ravelry. It shows a new to most of us way of joining yarns.
Have you ever joined yarn this way?
embroidery love
Even though I haven’t been doing much actual stitching lately, I’ve been constantly amazed at all the talent & inspiration I see around me, for something that isn’t considered real popular anymore. So… today’s post… some embroidery linky love…
embroidered tee shirt tut – how fun is this?
embroidered heart – I love this idea. Add initials, stitch on a pillowcase, almost instant, personalized gift!
TAST week 6 highlights – this is an embroidery sampler along that I wanted to participate, but considering it’s March & I haven’t done one week yet…
friday fo
Growing Flowers
is finally finished, yarn ends woven in, blocked,
& photographed!
This was a lovely pattern I thoroughly enjoyed testing. After blocking, it measures 45″.
mystery CAL / socknitting
Three things today!
We got snow! After a mild winter, we got hit with some snow. I took this photo yesterday after work, while the snow was coming down like mad.
I’m running a free mystery CAL on Ravelry right now on the fingerless gloves fanatics group on Ravelry, as part of International / National Crochet month. Please come join us, it’s going to be a ton of fun, & there will be a ton of people to help you out, too.
There is a thread going around on Ravelry right now, of sharing photos of your sock drawer. I couldn’t resist sharing my socks with ya’ll here too…
Drawer 1
on the left are store bought socks, mainly holiday ones. The middle are my heavier slipper socks, knitted mainly in worsted & aran. On the far right are a few pairs of crocheted socks
Drawer 2
my every day, fingering weight, wool socks. You can see I am not a big fan of the solid socks
My “summer” socks
mainly cotton / wool blends, a few soysilk, a few Cascade Fixation ones as well
My basket of “odd socks”
(some were deliberately made mismatched, & others had their mates lost)
a better photo of the singles
Jon’s socks, freshly washed
