Latest Projects

I've been working on a couple of projects lately! These are good ones to work on in the car or waiting for something. We have a long drive to NC this weekend so I should get quite a bit done.

My tatting (lace making) is coming along nicely! I am making it to put on a handkerchief for my grandmother. The handkerchief is 9.5" square so that means I have to tat it 39" long, so far I only have about 16" long.

I am also knitting a shawl for my Memere (French for Grandmother) I'm doing double knitting on this one! Its going to look really cool when its done. I think its going to take a while to finish.

That all looks great!! How did you get one color of knitting on one side and the other on the other side? I've never seen that done before (and now I want to try...haha. See what you got me into when you taught me how to knit? ;D ) By the way, what's tatting like? I've been curious about it for some time. Thanks for the great post! :)

@ MAGIC,
It's pronounced Mem-may :) Very simple! Thank you, we're glad you like it!
