Margaret Tudor Reborn

Image
At the beginning of the year I like to set myself a knitting goal. Sometimes I accomplish it, sometimes I don't. This year the goal is Margaret Tudor. About 10 years or so ago I was working on an Alice Starmore pattern called Margaret Tudor from her book Tudor Roses , first edition.

I put the sweater on hold while I looked for more of the yarn, which had been discontinued. Unfortunately, I have been unable to find any. So I ended up frogging the project.

Doll Knitting

Image
I've been knitting doll clothes. Mostly to fit my Iplehouse JID dolls. I've made a couple sweaters that don't look like much in these pics. However, they fit my dolls perfectly. I'll be taking pictures of them wearing these eventually. I've made some hats too. Getting closer to putting some new things in my Etsy store. I've also started a cross stitch project. I'm not sure what it is, but at this time of year I get a hankering for cross stitch. A couple of years ago I found an awesome set of free cross stitch patterns on a blog called Mini Star Trek. I am working on something using them. Mine will have 19 characters from the original series. I've finished the first two. Can you guess who they are? We got some snow last night. Just an inch. It spent the day melting. Winter weather is in the forcast. I don't think I've been blogging about my hot tub woes. In October, as a matter of routine, I emptied the hot tub to clean it, and the filter. I got i...
