smallhobbitAnother good crafting month, which feels particularly successful as I have finished my summer crafts and am all ready to tackle the autumn ones.
Dare to Dabble was sketching in the garden of Nature in Art.
I have stitched two coasters from a birthday kit I had received. I'm especially pleased as I created my own patterns, which I adjusted as I went on. I still have two coaster squares left, but they will wait until next year, and some new inspiration.
With those completed, I can now turn to Christmas cross stitch projects, for which I have a kit:
I also completed the Harry Potter hat, which The Daughter had given me for my birthday. Not a smart hat, but will be great for exercising locally.
A couple of week's ago, when we were leaving following our visit, our granddaughter said, "Granny, I don't have a winter scarf. Could you knit me one?" I have some wool left from the hat I knitted for her, which used the wool sent by the daughter when she wanted a hat knitting, so as per request I've begun.
I've knitted the next three squares of my throw
Which completes the Rowan Yarns Knitted with Love series. I'm now starting a Botanical Garden series of eight.
And lastly, I've begun knitting a cardigan for Granddaughter's Christmas present.

I don't think I was that practical at her age, and I know that I probably took knitted items from my mom and grandma for granted. In any case, I'm sure that both the scarf and cardigan will be lovely.
