In honor of the Friday Favecast, I have themed this scarf for the owner of the podcast. He requested a scarf and gave me free reign to do as I will. Here is the beginning, my first time ever doing double knitting.
This is for the Online Craft Club, too. I haven’t participated in FOREVER.

Well I haven’t been posting much because when I made something, I couldn’t take pictures. Well now I have a new baby!!!
SO now I can update you on all the projects you missed!!!
I say this ALL THE TIME. It’s terrible, I know. There are a lot of cross stitch designs that I couldn’t possibly have in my house on this site called Subversive Cross Stitch, but that doesn’t mean I wasn’t mostly amused.
I was reading through a blog called 2 Sistahs Knit Together and found this gem of a sweater. It’s a full blown likeness of President-Elect Barack Obama in his famous red, white, and blue design. You can download the pattern here.
Lest I forget. The baby was born on November 3rd at 10:24pm. She was 9 pounds, 19 inches long. She is gorgeous!
This is so close to being finished I can already feel it wrapped around me!!
My sister is ready to have her baby any time now. Soon you all will see what I made for my niece!
In other news, I made this shrug. It’s comfy and I adore it!
I finished the main part of the baby surprise, but now I am making a 3rd piece for it. It won’t take me very long to finish up once I actually sit down and do it. It’s just the fact that I am restless and thinking of all the things I have to do right now… The other pieces came out so adorable. It was a joy to do! I wonder if I will want to do more baby things for charity sometime soon, since it was so fun to do.
I don’t have a picture of my latest and greatest project, since it is a surprise for my baby sister’s baby. She will not get it until her daughter is born. I CAN, however, show you the progress on the sidebar —>
and show you the yarn I am using to make it:
I just posted about Fusing Plastic Bags over on the PBRC. Last night, I took the plunge. I only messed up a few times. I can use about 4 bags per fusion session. I am using brown paper bag as the surface between the iron and the plastic. I have some promising pieces laying on the table. This is a project I have to wait til my son is asleep to do, else I risk serious burns for him or myself in the process. I can seriously see me depleting the number of bags I have stashed in my house to almost zero in a matter of weeks. Let’s hope that my iron can stand up to the abuse!
