I had a nice weekend snowed in with my parents! We stayed warm near the kitchen making lefse and drinking hot cider. I love my parents' deck for cooling things off in a hurry!
Melissa and I went to the big going out of business sale at a local quilt shop. Everything was 20% off and they were actually selling all the shelving and decorations and displays, etc. I nabbed 2 of these asparagus crates for $5 each and I just love them! They also sell roving by the yard for needle felting projects but I use it for spinning and chose a few yards of several colors and a lot of ivory for dyeing. Melissa picked up a pieced and quilted runner/wall hanging for $5!
We also made another batch of photo ornaments for Christmas gifts. These get better every time we work on them! And now we're really getting low on lids! It's a good thing we had pasta with sauce from a jar...
These are the lace scarves I knit for my girlfriend gifts this year. My favorites are the beige and grey ones. That is Rowan tapestry yarn made from merino wool and soybean fiber! They are so soft and shiny and I bought several skeins of it. These scarves are only 18" or so long and you pull one lace panel through the "keyhole" and wear it like an ascot. I just love this pattern I found on Earthfaire. I have to say I am a fan of theirs now because they have bead knitting supplies and patterns as well as gifts and things for knitters! :)
