Etsy SK Winter Market and Some Finished Projects

12/11/2017

​I wanted to send out a big Thank you to those who stopped by the Etsy SK Winter Market on Dec 2nd at the U of R.  This was the 3rd sale I organized at this venue and it still is my favourite.  I had a good day talking to a lot of great people and meeting new vendors as well.  I bought some yarn from Midknit Cravings; some to make another Aura shawl and a sock appetizer (pics below).  I also got some fat quarters from So Sweet Quilts which I am planning on making some quilted mug rugs.  A hand blown glass tumbler from Glassy Eyed and some beautiful notecards from Sparkling Medusa.  Thanks to my chronic pain, after the sale I slept from 9 pm on Sat to 2:15 pm on Monday.

I spun 5 new skeins this week which at at The Naked Sheep Yarn & Fibre Emporium
I also finished 2 pairs of socks using the Straight Up Socks pattern again.  One pair was for my dad's birthday and I used good ol Kroy sock yarn.  I really like knitting for him because he truly appreciates it.  When I gave them to him (as he was going out the door) he cam back in, took off his boots, ripped off his socks he was wearing and put my handmade socks on.  I love that.

​My other pair I made in only a couple days using some new yarn from Midknit Cravings.  It is one of their appetizers as I mentioned above.  The colourway's I used were Bad Mood Monday and Wine Not!  You get 50 g of the main colour and 20 g of a contrast colour.  I was waffling between doing an afterthought heel, or maybe just tube socks but thought I would try to see how far I could get with the Straight Up Socks recipe and was left with 5g of the main colour and 6g of the contrast so I could have been ok.  I just love them!  Can't wait to make more.

​I also sewed a brand new dress!!  It is the Fen Dress from Fancy Tiger Crafts and I highly recommend it!  For starters it comes in a bunch of sizes and it has POCKETS!  You can also make a shirt.  I love the hem line and it is SO comfortable.  I will be making more of these as well.  I also just bought the Metamorphic Dress by Sew Liberated so it will be my next sewing project for my handmade wardrobe. It also has pockets and it is reversible.
