Happy Anniversary, Kniterary

This past month, November, our Kniterary Nights at the Peterborough Public Library turned 2!  Erica Patterson, an EA at my high school, helped us out by creating this amazing knitting cake.  Yes, those were real knitting needles!  The yarn balls had lovely spheres of cake inside!

WWKIP - Peterborough

Great Garale Sale Find

Went garage saling with mom last weekend in Campbellford and found this awesome makeup/jewelry tote box.  I knew it would be perfect for a knitting notions organizer and it is...

 
Which means now I have some makeup bags and notions boxes, and a handful of crochet hooks, up for grabs...

First Project for "Diana Prince"

Although this may not seem to be fit for Wonder Woman, this basket is just the kind of a project that "Diana Prince" would use in her quest to save the world!

From the meager beginnings of a ball of garden twine...
to the important stature of knitting bicycle basket...
 But we must wait a little longer, for the sewn liner and handles.

More Markers...

I've got some new markers done.  I'm taking them to my knitting group tonight, but they'll also be available at Needles in the Hay, in Peterborough ($7 set).  Some are for crocheting or knitting, some are just for knitting.

My Awesome, Yet Horrible Rainbow Socks

Made with Shoppel Woole Zauberball in Tropical Fish, I loved these socks until I got to the point on the one socks where there was a join.  Then I became even more upset when that one still hadn't reached 'red'.  So on the ribbing, I pulled through the green so that I would reach red before the end.  Then I just kept ribbing until the red was done.

Voila!  Even though they aren't perfect, I still love them.
