Happy New Year!

I realized that I had off-loaded a lot of stuff I made before I even took pictures of it...oops! I'm going to make an effort to take pics of things as soon as they are finished so that doesn't happen.
Anyway, I hope everyone had a lovely New Year's and is starting the year refreshed.
Here's a scarf I knitted (my first knit project!) out of some alpaca yarn my mom sent me:

As you can see, it curled up along the edges...it's because I didn't use a pattern and so had decided to knit one side and purl the other; as it turns out, that's called a stockinette stitch and will always make your piece curl.  It's most often used for sweaters, because when you attach a seam it doesn't curl anymore. Oh well, lesson learned, and it's still a pretty rad scarf.

I started a new knit project as well, which I am excited enough about that it's taking up almost all of my crafting time :)
It's called a curbing bag and it's pretty fun to make.

I am also determined to get back to my weaving project this month!!
Finally, Chris and I got engaged, so I apologize in advance for the fact that many of the future projects this year will probably be wedding related. But still lotsa fun!
