Craft On: Butterflies and Baptisms
The baptismal gown is knit, with ends woven in, and bathing. There is still blocking to do, and then I will sew on the buttons. She is finished! I will share finished, finished, finished photos after Winnie is baptized.
Next on my list are to knit the bear paw mittens to match the bear sweater, finish Crossandra, start a Prettyish Wilderness shawl (by Linette Grayum) for my aunty, and start the adult sized Saint Catherine (which I hope to have ready for beta in a month or so). I will be casting on the mittens tonight. They might even be finished by the end of tomorrow night or Saturday.
Just a reminder, since I finished Saint Patrick, I am seeking beta knitters. If you are interested in beta knitting this shawl, I would love your help. Please e-mail me for more information.
I've finished The Murder at the Vicarage, and am still reading here and there with other books. The Murder at the Vicarage was such a wonderful book. I've watched the Miss Marple shows and love them, but reading the books is so much better. This will not be my last Miss Marple read. The story has so much more depth than the television renditions, and the characters are much more full.
Linking to Unraveled Wednesday
