Projects!

Thought I'd take a minute to share the latest fruits of my labors. My super-rad friend Kristen has been teaching me how to knit, and I've finally managed to squeak out some actual projects.

Blanket for my cousin Amber's baby, Sarah:


Bikini for my other cousin Laura's baby, Zoey:


Back view of the bottoms (how much do you love butt ruffles on babies??):


I also dragged out the ol' sewing machine and whipped up these two sofa pillows with some fabric that I actually ordered for a different project but decided it wasn't quite right for:


All these projects took way longer than I ever would have supposed, but all in all, I had a blast making 'em. I've never considered myself particularly crafty or domestic, but I'm finding it surprisingly satisfying to have a creative outlet.
