Craft-Room Tuesday
I couldn’t take it anymore. Last weeks weird felting thing (truly don’t even know what to call it or where I was going with it!) but, it had to go. Now it’s a fat Santa. He still needs some work but at least he is no longer a weird whatever that was last week!!
I finished Alice’s blanket. It’s soft, cuddly and ohhh sooo warm! I really hated for it to end, but I immediately started another one. I am sooooo addicted to knitting these blankets! Especially since it’s so cold here in Sandpoint.
I started working on another cowl in such beautiful colors! I’m really liking these soft yarns.
I am testing out some new Cricut cutting blades for my vinyl. Blades can get expensive. So yes, I jumped on 45 of them for under $14! I tested them with glitter vinyl which is the hardest to cut and some just plain ole iron on vinyl. They did a great job! YEAH me!! I whipped up a couple of new kitchen towels. Then I found a bundle of very cute and highly sarcastic sayings for towels so my kids can expect new kitchen towels soon. Then of course I had to “vinyl up” a comfy t-shirt of mine, cause ya know…… Knit Happens!
Happy Tuesday everyone!! I’m gonna go knit. I hope you are doing something YOU enjoy too!!

I love that blanket, too. My mom knitted a couple of nice blankets, and they are cherished!

Rosie, I am knitting another blanket for Alice. I figure she should have a Non’s house blanket and a home blanket. Knitting is so relaxing!
Dana Rodriguez

I love those tea towels (do you call them that over there?) – any chance you could put some on eBay?
Connie Gruning
Kate, you are so sweet! I may have to start selling my stuff. My kids are kinda over the whole “Mom vinyl’s everything!”
Tamra Phelps
You are definitely the crafting queen. If I tried any of these they would just wind up as Pinterest fails, lol.
Connie Gruning
Ohhhh Tamra, I have a ton of crafty fails under my belt. But, fail or not it’s makin’ me happy just being creative.

Those are just so stinking cute! I love them and I am jealous! You have more talent in your little finger than I have in my whole fat little body. Love your Cowl. Oh where did you order your blades from? My daughter is looking for blades and your right, they are not cheap.
