Hello all:
Wishing you a very spooky and mysterious Hallowe'en Eve!
Here is my (far from spooky) costume:
And some new stuff (sorry about lack of seasonal colour...)
yet another buttonhole bag...
a fuzzy hat (thanks to Beverly Galeska's Felted Knits book)...
...and a slipper in progress (pre-felting - Lamb's Pride and Lily Woo mohair - thanks to Kathleen Taylor's Knit One, Felt Too)...
Cheers,
Tina

* detail on cardigan
Cheers,
Kristina

intro
Hello all:
Welcome to my blog! I plan to bore you all with numerous photos of my works and works-in-progress.
By way of introduction, my name is Kristina and I am a (somewhat) obsessive crafter living in Toronto, Ontario. My current interests include knitting and mosaic although I have also been known to dabble in needlepointing and have recently taken up crochet - much to my chagrin.
To pay for all of these addiction in addition to my other bad habits, I work as a legal aid lawyer. The good hours allow me lots of time to purchase, stash and sometimes use materials.
Being a lawyer-type person, I have lots of opinions on many other subjects, but will try to spare you my various diatribes.
Enjoy!
Tina
