Yarn Stash



The same day I bought the magazines, we went to the yarn shop.  I got alllll this!  It was only about $30 US.  Not bad at all.  Uruguay has several yarn manufacturers, and the quality's very good.  Now to start making something.



And while we were at the Port Market, we found this kilo of spun wool for about the same price.  It's nice and fluffy feeling.  I'm going to make something and then dye and felt it.

Bagging It


And here's the Bargello Medley from TGOSM again.  Progress, but I'm still not done with the second band.  On the other hand, the first rectangle is filling in nicely.

New Year, New Start


This year, I decided to join the crowd and start something new with the new year.  I'd bought this project, Winter White by Indigo Rose, from Stitches and Spice during the Online Retail Needlework Show.  It was calling to me.  So I started it on the first.  My rotation's temporarily a bit larger, but I'm glad I did it.

Working on Weihnachtsmysterie


I'm close to being done with this.  Only the bottom part to go, now.  The end is near.

Three Lines, Three Eggs Done


Yay, real progress!  I have only parts of one egg and one line to go.  I think the line will be finished first, then I can finally go on to another part ... after I do all the specialty stitches in the lines.

Got It at the Market


Last week, I got all these ribbons and buttons at the local market.  It's still a bit odd to me to purchase ribbons outside, but it's neat too.  She has such a selection, and I've become a regular.  Not only that, she speaks English.

Line by Line


Still get this done at a snail's pace.  It's two more lines down from the last picture, at least.
