Billyburg Craft Night

My pal, Flo, hosted a crafty evening last Saturday and taught the gathered to knit. When I wasn't cramming my face with rice krispy treats, I was able to finish two projects, including a hat for my roommate. Community makes the crafty life so special. I'm in awe of the creative people in my life, and the I'm luckiest girl-squirrel in the world.

The Gates is a stunning work; I hope to make it back again before it's gone.

Stole

She loved her gifts and I loved her face when she opened them. I got the pattern for the stole from the website of Craftista, woolgathered (muchas gracias!). It was super easy and Mo loved the finished product.

Mira! So sexy in fuzzy pinkness.
