tough decisions

Today am feeling rather obsessive about my knitting. Stash has grown too big, meaning that I cannot decide on what the next project should be. Some kind of sweater… but bulky or fine knit?

Luckily I don’t have to work today so have lots of time to ponder this weighty decision. Then again, maybe too much time is a bad thing… ?!?

newest creations…

Hello there:

Attached please see the latest stuff I’ve been working on.

(a) funky blankie (inspired by the Circle of Fun in the Mason-Dixon book) – knitted in Super 10; and

(b) little felted bag – Lamb’s Pride Worsted – thanks to the knitty.com website!

happy hallowe’en!

Hello all:

Wishing you a very spooky and mysterious Hallowe’en Eve!

Here is my (far from spooky) costume:

And some new stuff (sorry about lack of seasonal colour…)

yet another buttonhole bag…

a fuzzy hat (thanks to Beverly Galeska’s Felted Knits book)…

…and a slipper in progress (pre-felting – Lamb’s Pride and Lily Woo mohair – thanks to Kathleen Taylor’s Knit One, Felt Too)…

Cheers,

Tina

recent knitting – Mason Dixon etc.

Hi all:

Some recent stuff I’ve been working on since getting the Mason Dixon Book (thanks to those who created it!!):

* my version of the Buttonhole Bag on the website (made with Lamb’s Pride Bulky)


* my version of the baby blanket “Moderne” (made with Bernat cotton)

* cardigan for my husband (thanks to the knitty.com website here in Toronto! and made with Mission Falls 1824 merino)

* detail on cardigan

Cheers,

intro

Hello all:

Welcome to my blog! I plan to bore you all with numerous photos of my works and works-in-progress.

By way of introduction, my name is Kristina and I am a (somewhat) obsessive crafter living in Toronto, Ontario. My current interests include knitting and mosaic although I have also been known to dabble in needlepointing and have recently taken up crochet – much to my chagrin.

To pay for all of these addiction in addition to my other bad habits, I work as a legal aid lawyer. The good hours allow me lots of time to purchase, stash and sometimes use materials.

Being a lawyer-type person, I have lots of opinions on many other subjects, but will try to spare you my various diatribes.

Enjoy!

Tina
