Caught His Tail

After a tiring chase, Sprocket caught his tail and took a nap!

Bag into Pillow

A few years ago I took a class to learn a knitting technique called entrelac.  It's basically a knitted fabric that looks woven.  The project for the class was this bag.

.

.
Well, the bag has been sitting around since I finished it, because it's not really a very useful bag to me.

(Sprocket contemplating the bag.)

Not long ago it dawned on me that I could use the bag as a pillow cover instead!

. 

.

So I got a pillow form from Michaels, and lo and behold it fits!

. 

.

It's a pretty tight fit, so I opted to sew the cover on rather than use buttons.  I figured that the gaps between the buttons would show the white pillow inside.

. 

.

Voila!  Now my handiwork is useful rather than stuffed away in my craft cupboard awaiting an uncertain fate!

Baby Sweaters

I didn't get all my projects finished up by the end of the year as planned, but I have made some progress.  I've been working on finishing up some baby sweaters.  Now when Baby P gets here, he won't have to be naked!

This sweater finally has buttons sewn on and the ducks now have beaks, feet and eyes!

This sweater has buttons.

And I actually made another sweater!  It's all done, except for a button; let's hope that it doesn't take me as long to get a button on this sweater as it did on the others!
