Winter-y scene from a balcony, a Capelet and a Needlebook


Because the weather over here is like this....I'm extra extra happy that Ballee (Puk) finished knitting my beautiful new capelet last week!




Check out her Etsy shop for gorgeous yarn and hand knitted items. Puk also has another Etsy shop with lots of yummy buttons. Puk and I 'met' on Etsy and Twitter and we found out we live within a few miles of each other. So when I saw a wonderful knitting pattern by Stitch Poet for a capelet Puk offered to knit it for me!
The capelet deserves a better picture than this but this was the best I could do at this moment! (Note to self: must remove cleaning items like Swiffers when taking pictures for blog) :D

Anyway, just one last picture to share. I made a little felt Needlebook for my swap with Georgia. I did almost all the embroidery free hand (with out a pattern) and it still looked o.k. when it was finished. :)
