Finished in 2007: April 2007 Archives

Beginning in late February my younger daughter and I took a beginner sewing class in which the class project was a tote bag. As every knitter knows, you can't have too many bags, so I figured this would at least force me to learn to use my new sewing machine and as a reward I would have a new bag. With chickens!

So where was I before all the excitement ... Ah yes. Catching up. There has been some knitting. This and that.

A cupcake. Sorry about the blurry picture. This was made as a parting gift for a co-worker who used to bring in the yummiest "cuppycakes". I looked at the cupcake pattern in One Skein (by Leigh Radford) and found it to be too mushroom shaped. So I just made up the pattern as I went along. Note to self: have brilliant ideas before 9 pm of the night before the good-bye lunch. Anyway, it was terribly cute and she loved it. And I think I wrote down the important parts so I should be able to make more. Theoretically.

Let's see. What else...
