The advent calendar is done. Although the pockets are not yet stuffed. I have a feeling Eily would have trouble emptying just one at a time.

I've also sewn together a felt floor basket from a fabulous ultra-felted sweater that was donated to me. I've been wearing the sleeves as legwarmers for weeks, since from the moment I tried them on on a whim, I could barely take them off. They're ultra warm. Now me and the yarn holder match.

the toque saga

alright, so my idea is not all that lofty, but i'm having some trouble with the delivery.

i've been trying to create the perfect toque, one that is long enough, warm enough, and moderately stylish. i saw one out there in indie-craft land and thought i could make it myself, but now that i'm on the third attempt, i'm wondering if that $50 price tag on the original wasn't all that unreasonable. the first attempt (in blue) had to be modified into a tea cozy since, once felted, in was rather short and stumpy. and, though the second is much closer in size, it actually fits brett better than me. onward i go.
