On my trip out to see my daughter and son-in-law I took along a few projects. Some had already been started, some I never got to. I can't stand not being able to make something if I want to. I had such a wonderful time with Jess and Uber. We didn't take a lot of pictures, too busy just having fun. Even went to see Colby Caillet one night! Did we take a good camera with us? NOPE. It was fun and we have the memories.
I'd started this zig zag mini a long time ago but never got around to binding it. This was the last of the zig zag techniques that I wanted to try. I still like the half square triangles the best.
Because I don't have enough unfinished stuff around, I decided to try knitting. I am so inspired by my sister's stuff. Even it I can just make dish rags like hers I will be happy.
The "Uptown Coat" I made for Jessica.
This is a dress I made for her while I was there. It is the Socialite Dress from the pattern by Anna Maria Horner. I used linen that she picked out. It is a cute pattern and an easy to wear dress.
A hat for someone, Jess is just modeling it for me.
These two items are presents from my mom. She made them both. I think she did an awesome job. The painting was inspired by some paintings she and I saw in Venice. I think it's just yummy! There are tiny crystals on it that don't show up well in this photo.
We made tiny books. Jess was wanting a small item to put in her customers boxes when she sells something. They were fun to make. It looked like a sweat shop for awhile.
Another hat for someone, finished today.
Love it! I can't believe you made the hat already it is so pretty! LOVE the snowflake picture gorgeous send me some snow!!! Love you bunches.
