I am still going strong with the Debbie Bliss Tennis Sweater. I have about 6 inches of the back done and I am still excited to keep going. I hope my enthusiasm and stamina keep up!

Identity by Design

Today, I took a trip to the National Museum of the American Indian where they had an exhibit about Native American women's clothing and how that creates a personal, cultural, and tribal identity that links today's Native American women to their past while they perpetuate their traditions into the future.

Finished Projects: Stitch N'Bitch Gloves 2



Here are some pictures of my gloves. I am no great photographer, but I had a little fun with these pictures. You can see how the left glove turned out to be longer than the right one. But I am sure a little scrunching and no one will notice. I so glad I finally finished the gloves, even though it also finally warm enough not to wear them!

Finished Project: Stitch N’ Bitch Gloves

Yesterday, I finally finished my fingerless gloves. The pattern wasn’t particularly hard, but, even so, I made a bunch of mistakes. When I did the first glove I somehow skipped several rows on the pattern. I tried to keep a tally of how many rows I had completed, but I was more interested in making progress than double checking. Next time I will definitely be more careful, because, at the end of the day, if you are going to take the time to make yourself gloves, you should take the time to do them right.

Anyway pictures to come. For now, I am taking the time (even though I don’t want to) to gauge my next project!
