Did you miss me? It's only been 5 years...

So I bought a house and I've been here a couple years and just got my lace and crafting stuff out of boxes and into a studio (extra bedroom with good light) :)

Just lately I've been making wrist warmers for friends and workmates, an easy quick pattern that makes your hands look very pretty:


I used Rowan Woven Art - Rowan tweed Fine, in deep autumn colors: Olive, Gold, Brick and Chocolate.
I was pleased with the result -- I thought I photographed the final product but can't find it at this point.  I bought way too much yarn and made 5 pair with enough leftover to make another pair if I only use 3 colors.

I'm working on a cardigan for myself, as the office pod I work in seems to get pretty chilly.


I'm having trouble with the sleeve cap, so hopefully I'll have that sorted out soon.

I started bobbin lace again, and I'm working off the rust in just a little fan edging. Working on my consistency, as some fans look great some look a little wonky ;)   I want to spend some time working through the Beds lace making videos I have, so I can get back into the swing of the thing.

Till next time...
