Merry Christmas! I love stockings so much, it's a little care package in an adorable handknit decoration.

Worked hard to churn out a lot of ornaments this year! If I really focused I could make 3 in a day, but usually only 1.
The lacy ones are my favorite for catching the light off the tree.

I love to knit mushrooms, so it's nice when I can get outside and forage for them too (with the guidance of a more experienced friend of course) πŸ„β€πŸŸ«

First craft fair was a big success! I especially liked connecting with the other makers and made some amazing trades. Thank you to everyone who came!

Expectation vs reality first time craft fair set up

I was hoping to have my lace dragonfly statement piece ready, but had to put it in time out to make more inventory.

Next time I hope to have that, swirly mittens, and mushroom bags.

Just the silver! The reflective yarn is a bit more expensive and I wanted it to to stretch further.

I made some reflective hats for dog walkers and runners in these darker months, but it sure is hard to capture on phone camera! The blurrier the photo, the more the reflectivity shines.

Booth mock-up for this weekend at the Jingle Bell Fair (www.broomfield.org/617/Jingle-B...) πŸ””πŸŽ„β„οΈ

I've worked really hard to knit/sew/bead and design the display (the first iteration had NO place to sit). Didn't finish everything I had hoped, but feeling less stressed now

I bought the wool for this sweater on a trip to Iceland in 2017 and finished fall of 2023. Sometimes knitting takes a long time to start and to finish.

On November 15th, I will have my first ever booth at a craft fair! Colorado friends, join me at the jingle Bell Market at the Broomfield Community Center!

I will have ornaments, hats, wall art, and bags.

It has been fun prepping the booth itself as an art project.

For #showmeyourknits cable week, do faux cables count? I loved making this brioche sweater. It's so plushy and soft (thanks malabrigio)!
