Day 31-365: Details

The one thing that I love about Chicago is the details in the old buildings. Faces, creatures and flowers are every where. You just need to open up to them.

Day 30-365: Square Addition

Worked on some more squares for my blanket and trying to figure out if I have enough to add. I like to keep the colors random on this ever slow growing project. It is fascinating to see it come together even if I'm only a quarter of the way done.

Day 29-365: Day Trip

Took a little trip out to a yarn store. Cute downtown feel with a little bakery just down the way. Wish I could buy a house up the street so I could hang out in this store.

It was the other day that I took photos of Mac's felted slippers and then remembered that I hadn't blogged about them. They were a quick project that HAD to be done before Christmas. You see, I has having a casual conversation with Mac and she was growing more and more excited about Christmas day. She then blurted out: I can't wait to see what you've knit me.

Oh crap. Totally dug in my stash grabbed some wool and in a weekend had felted slippers. They took nearly the week before Christmas to dry, but they were under the tree for the morning.



She loves skating in the kitchen with them. I do the same in mine;)



Quick, fun and easy. If your looking to not skate across the room, highly recommend putting puffy paint on the bottom for grip.

Day 28-365: Looking Up

If you remember the shot I took the other day out the window looking down at the red and green awnings. This is a shot looking up at my office window from under the awnings.
