Embroidered Choker

I'm trying something new. I've taken this little band of cotton and I'm going to embroider it and turn it into a choker/ necklace sort of thing. I might crochet lace to sew around the outside. I'm not sure about the closure. Hook and eye? Velcro? We'll see.

Happy Egglplant

One more for now- Inspired by my love of illustrations from mid-century cookbooks, here are two happy eggplant friends. See more pictures of them here at My Good Babushka.

Purple Cabled Sweater- Stolen!

I found some pics on my camera of a little purple sweater I knitted. I was going to put it in my etsy shop, but my youngest usurped it. When it was finished, he hugged it and took it up to his room. I guess I'll have to knit something else!

Purple Cabled Sweater

I have a few skeins of this purple yarn. I am making a cabled sweater size 2-3. I was inspired by a vintage pattern. I like the simple look of vintage knits, but I didn't take the pattern directly. I found the pattern to be incorrect! I guess there were typos even in the fifties! But I took a look at the picture and got the gist of it, so I wrote little instructions for myself, for this simple cabled sweater. This is the back.

Matthew really liked the color of this yarn and I was going to make something for him, but I just didn't have enough purple yarn! I promised to make him something else, later.
