Groovy Socks in progress, originally uploaded by alicethelma. While conducting a recent inventory of socks that I have completed so far in my lifetime (the total is 17), I realized that I could make more and so I set a goal for myself: To complete one pair of socks per month, 12 pair for the [...]

Dashing left, originally uploaded by alicethelma. I finished left mitt – in less than 24 hours. Because of distractions, right mitt may take longer.

Desperately needing a break from oven mitts and socks – I finished a pair of log cabin socks for Alice on xmas eve, wrapped them up and popped them under the tree- and she guessed what they were right away. Well anyway, craving a change of pace, Alice suggested I make something I’ve never made [...]

The aftermath, originally uploaded by alicethelma. Everyone here seems more or less pleased with gifts received. Hope you are too. We’re off to see Juno now. Tschuss!

Our Hearth, originally uploaded by alicethelma. With oven mitt mania in full swing, the answer to that question is Alice. Alice needs stockings, that’s who!

Just sharing another WIP with you and giving your eyeballs a little break from the constant barrage of bright colors that I subject you to. This is the Circles [...]

Hemlock blanket in progress, originally uploaded by alicethelma. Now it may appear to some of you that many of my projects are knock offs from the brooklyntweed blogsite and I need to address this issue. IT’S TRUE! I confess that I’m a huge fan of the designs and creations of Jared Flood. I think he’s [...]

Oven mitts after, originally uploaded by alicethelma. Well I would have posted the finished oven mitts sooner but I took a detour over to Buddy’s house to pick up wood. The mitts are still wet but the colors being so bright and cheery really help me during these dreary, rainy, wet, gray…days. Hmmm seem to [...]
