I've been making my own pair of wedge socks because a) socks make GREAT travel knitting, b) I love the color, and c), that pattern is fast, easy, and fun. I find knitting is also an essential for traveling as it allows me to endure annoying situations and people! I got a good bit done while waiting at the embassy yesterday--they took all my electronics away, but apparently don't have ladies showing up with knitting that often! Also, I don't think terrorists knit...
I've been doing a variety of craft project including some 'stealth' knitting for Christmas gifts, but the work I've been doing to get ready for handwork I can show you, so here goes. To my shame, I must admit, that I 'committed' some plastic canvass.
These snowflakes are going to be one of my first handwork projects with the girls. I've cut out all the plastic since I just can't see 15 girls, scissors, counting, and limited materials going well; I just need to go find some yarn for them. It is a sad truth--plastic canvass + yarn = TACKY. Want proof?
I had the bright idea of putting one of my little LED votive in here, but the ends were much smaller than anticipated, and I didn't want to wast a perfectly good votive on something so ugly. I'm so sorry world! I don't know what came over me!
Want some sneak peaks of 'stealth' knitting?
I can't wait till the recipients get to see them!
