Tunic knitting project

I'm working on an eco duo project- that is the name of the wool. it has not been died. It is all natural colors. The wool is alpaca and buttery soft.

Painting of Castle Huntly

I found out in 2023 that I am actually not of the Brandlin bloodline. I am of the Pugh bloodline. Then I found out that a few generations back there aren't many Pughs.(my newly found cousin told me).. The bloodline is Patterson. Which means Patrick's son in Scottish. It is a Scottish name and I have 3% Scott blood in me. I looked up the Pattersons and I found there is a lot in history about them and one Patterson acquired castle Huntley in 1776 for his wife who was a Grey because the origin of the castle was Grey. I looked online and found this castle that is now a Scottish prison that was once owned by a Patterson in 1776.

Hooded Scarf

Years ago a mysterious package came in the mail, a black hooded scarf. That was in the nineties. This year i had a skein of yarn and I

started a black hooded scarf. I had to go get a second skein at Fiber arts in the Glen. I had just enough to finish it! The pattern is on ravelry- "Sophie Hooded scarf".

Fingerless gloves and the tubular cast off

This weekend i mastered the kitchner stitch used with the tubular cast off- first I botched the finger portion but then i conquored the thumb- thanks to Suzanne Bryan of youtube and ravelry.

i also did some mending of moth eaten fingerless gloves.

Troll Poppet

This little beauty is focused on beauty.....what does it mean to be a female troll.

December knitting projects

i've gotten back into knitting full force. I knitted two diamond beanies one for Ben and one for Alan and I am knitting a hooded scarf right now. Here are some pictures.

the greatest birthday joy was teaching my daughter in law and granddaughters to knit tonight.

I was very focused and worked hard to create Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera!
