happy hallowe'en!

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

Hi all:

Some recent stuff I've been working on since getting the Mason Dixon Book (thanks to those who created it!!):

* my version of the Buttonhole Bag on the website (made with Lamb's Pride Bulky)




* my version of the baby blanket "Moderne" (made with Bernat cotton)





* cardigan for my husband (thanks to the knitty.com website here in Toronto! and made with Mission Falls 1824 merino)




* 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
