Less-is-more year

 This is my year to do more with my hands, in terms of making, that is (and less of clicking on the "order now" button).  My log cabin scrapghan is coming along nicely: plus a bowl I made at a ceramics workshop last month!

Recycled cards on my tree

 These were fun! Recycled cards from last year, with tiny boxes, bits of ribbon and lots of glue stick...

A little white bag

 Simple seed stitch, two-strands of worsted acrylic yarn (for durability) held together and a vintage button = my new summer bag. I got complimented on it the first day I wore it to the local diner, yay!  I knit this in one piece and folded it over, seaming the sides and strap. The strap and button flap are knit stitch, for some contrasting texture. 

Blue architectural raglan

 Experimenting with crochet (vertical lines) on knitting, plus some mixed stitches, to enhance a plain raglan sweater:

Blue vest

 Just a simple vest, in a light alpaca.

Loose raglan vest/top

 I wanted something loose, and I really liked this colour combo. 

Irish hiking scarf

 This one is for an upcoming hiking trip to Squamish.
