Scardigan...

Do you Scardigan? Have you ever? I know you are thinking "What pray tell is a Scardigan?"...well, let me show you.

While out thrifting this week for stocking material I came across this funny little thing...pretty fancy, eh? I will be repurposing it for my Christmas stockings but wanted to give you all a peek before I put the scissors to it.

This is the palette for the stockings. Two wool skirts, a wool jacket and a Scardigan. Stay tuned to see the finished products. 

I can't knit...

I lie. I can however, not that well. But this chunky throw seems like a real breeze. I love knitting with big forgiving yarn. The few needle projects that I have completed over the years have consisted of knitting and purling - no fancy stitches here. When you have yarn this gauge you can speed through a project. Maybe something to attempt after the holidays...

Jingle all the way...

Now that we have finished up with the Thanksgiving festivities we can move on over to the Christmas crafting...another busy time of year filled with late nights, ink stained hands, bold new experiments, sewn fingers, a paper and textile littered 'office' floor and way too many trips to Michael's. 

Here are only a few items from my list of crafting to do's:

Ornaments

Holiday Cards

Stockings

Shortbread
