The Fiber Artist

Wow, that sounds pretentious doesn't it. But it is the name of my company, so I decided to use it. This is where I will keep a record of works in progress in the hope that it will result in more productivity. It will also give me a place to ramble on about my life, so that maybe later I will remember what happened in ___ (fill in day, month, year of your choice).

January Birthday Rush

This is part of what I got for Christmas from Carl. I have wanted a spindle rack for some time. I even ordered one from a son of a friend, but he never got around to making it.

And now I am into the great January Birthday rush, since thanks to 2 of my sons and one daughter I have 2 girlfriends, one husband, one grandson and one son-in-law's birthdays from the 21st of Jan. to the 11th of Feb. But the 2 in Feb have to be mailed, so they must be finished in January too.

So one cowl is finished, and one is underway. One pair of socks are finished except for the last half of the last toe, one pair of slippers has the first one to the gusset, and the smallest pair of socks has not been started.

I should finish he last toe, and at least one of the slippers tomorrow, and the last slipper on sunday, then I will switch off on the cowl and the Tiger Socks until they are finished, hey should all be finished by the 20th.

And then I can finally start the things I want to work on. There will be pictures soon.

Poor Blog

You have been sadly neglected this past year. And I am running like crazy because there are 5 birthday's from now to the 13th of Feb. So I am just stopping by to list the finished stuff for 2011:

Socks for me 16 pair - the 17th will be finished today or tomorrow.

Socks for gifts 6

Dishcloths 6

Sweaters 1 finished Several more in the works.

Shawls 2

Hats for guys 8

Hats for girls 2

Cowls 2

The 16 pair if socks, one sweater, 2 shawls and 1 dishcloth are still here, all the rest went to someone else this year. Not too bad. But I need to finish she more sweaters in 2012.
