Broomstick Lace

I've added yet another infinity scarf added to my collection! I learned about the broomstick lace stitch last year, but did not have a broomstick or anything of the same size handy until recently. I used this pattern and just kept going...

and going...and going...until I finished the entire skein. which is not what I was supposed to do. which means I have a REALLY long infinity scarf that needs to be wrapped three times to fit properly >.< 

Thanks to my wonderful friend D who let me stop by whenever and let me use her broomstick :D

All Ends Whale

I started making whale printed PJ shorts a long time ago, but I felt I cut them too short so the project was tossed to the side until I found my solution: lace!

 Whales and fishies!! 

Adding the lace...

I've started putting little tags on clothes I make :)

Finished product!! It only took...half a year >.< 

Belated #2: Secret Santa

I saw this constellation runner on design sponge around the same time I made the embroidered placemat and chose it for my secret santa :)

Setting up...

Practically finished...

Final product!! (photo stolen from M)

Belated #1: Sashiko Embroidery

I had more free time on my hands (read: early November...) and was itching to get some crafting done. Unfortunately, I lent my sewing machine to my mother so clothes-making was not a feasible option. Perusing my list of projects, I decided to make decorative placemats with Sashiko embroidery. Free templates are my best friend :)

So, I drew this pattern onto my fabric and stitched it up! 

I have other patterns saved for later, but only had time to make one so far...and it's not even sewed to completion! Who knew embroidery would take so long?
