Well, I've finished the AS sweater, but not like I had originally planned.  As they say in sewing "As you sew, so shall ye rip", and after nine years of this project holding me hostage, I finally had enough.  As the work was progressing, I realized that a couple of the color substitutions were dead wrong and I was not happy.  Rather than wasting any more energy, I have removed the project from my needles.  Now to find something to do with all that wool.

It's a New Year!

Well, a new year has come along, and my resolution this year was to not procrastinate (at least not as much!), so I'm starting to make minute inroads into the mess of boxes in the apartment and have even picked up my AS sweater.  I'm hoping that by posting progress of the sweater, I'll actually complete it.

Stitch Markers

I have been happily working on some stitch markers for both knitting and crochet that I'm really proud of. I've even got an Etsy store (http://ftepper.etsy.com) where I put them for others to buy. Of course, I always keep a couple for my own personal use!

These are my 'Pink Hearts and Pearls' -


I've also started doing Chinese knots - these are plafond knots (I call this style 'China Blue')

These are true love knots - I call these 'Tribal'

Happy Winter Solstice!
