Purple Scarf

I just finished knitting this purple scarf. I had some leftover yarn from the shawl so I decided to use it in this scarf. I still have enough yarn to make another scarf just like this, though I’m giving purple a break for now.

Finished-Blocked2I have yet to figure out a way to display my knitted items well.

New Stuff

My sister was over during Thanksgiving so I had all the supplies to make Sami bracelets. I got a sample one done and made the braid for my sister’s bracelet. She was having a hard time sewing hers so I have to finish it up later, along with another one for me. Here’s the same one I did. I realized I need to sew the braid down well and not let any of the clear thread stick out. It’s not like regular thread so it pokes when it sticks out.

Then we made these geometric paper forms and filled them with cement. I made mine into vases.

CementVasesTried putting some faux gold leaf on one of them. Don’t have the right kind of glue so it didn’t work out that well. Need to get some of that really sticky glue…..
