Recent crafting adventures

I've been pretty busy crafting lately, and have several things I plan to post about. I've just been so busy making things that I haven't taken the time to write about them!!
I've finished my knitted bowl, but still have to felt it. I find that I can never do things the "easy" way...like learning to knit on a straight project on straight needles...no, I have to start knitting in the round on Double Pointed Needles! It took a little bit to get the hang of it, but once I got into my project it went smoothly.

Now, I'm working on a pair of baby legwarmers on really little DPNs! I'm surprised at how quickly I'm picking it up and getting pretty efficient.

I've also been hard at work on building up a stock for a craft fair this November. A friend and I are going to have a booth together, and I've been trying to get a lot of things made to try to sell. These projects will go up in a series of posts about my products for sale.

I finally got my serger threaded and was able to use it! This is another post I have planned...but I made some more new diapers for Little Man and they turned out really cute! The serging is obviously done by a novice, but I'm very happy with how they turned out for my first projects.

Finally, I've been working on Christmas gifts. I've alluded to it before, but I'm planning on making a lot of the gifts for our family and friends, so while I've been super busy making things...I can't necessarily blog about any of them until after Christmas! Planning these has been fun and I'm pretty excited about some of the gifts I've made!

Along with the Christmas gifts, I have plenty of other projects planned. I need some ponchos/capelets/sweaters with fall coming up, as my wardrobe is pretty basic and they're the perfect way to dress it up and keep me warm at the same time. I plan to make this poncho in the yarn I posted about last time -- Universal Yarn Uptown DK. I bought a dark silver and can't wait to get started! I'm also planning on furthering my knitting skill with this poncho, though I haven't decided for sure about the yarn I'll use. I need to hunt something down in my stash that will be perfect! I have fabric laid out and ironed to make myself a new purse, as my current one is falling apart...so that will likely be my next project!
