I like to knit hand puppets - they are pretty quick to make, plus I can try out different stitches or patterns.

Here's the same puppets, but with a back view of the one with a Schooner on it's back.

Thrum mitts are knit with bits of wool roving to make the mitts very thick and warm.

Here's another picture of them with one turned inside out.

This is a hat I knit for Laurie this past winter from an alpaca/wool blend yarn, so it's very warm.

Same hat, other side, closer view.

I'm participating in a world-wide sock exchange, sockapalooza that has 1,002 knitters from 26 countries.

These are Hedera socks, a pattern from Knitty.com from Opal yarn.

I've just learned how to do needle felting by taking a course at the guild. This is my first project. Everyone in the class was given the same materials and directions to make this sheep picture, yet everyone was different.

The bunny was fun to make. It's amazing how much roving is used to make him, as he had to be firm enough so that he is able to sit.

This was our last class project, where we could do any picture we liked. I worked from a card that had lilacs on it - but my flowers didn't really turn out looking like lilacs.

This is some of my work from last year. At the moment I seem to be making lots of socks and mittens - to keep us warm!
