As I posted earlier this week, I made a hat last week. And today I finally finished the matching scarf. I used the last of the skein, which made a shorter scarf than I wanted, but it still keeps me warm!

I received two books for Christmas to help me in my crafting. One book was on my wish list and the other was on my sister’s wish list.

Felted Crochet is a book I wanted in my library because the idea of felting has always intrigued me. My friends who knit do it and I wanted to learn to knit just so I could felt. But then I discovered I was a bit naive and felting can be done with crochet as well. I found this book and thought it would give me great inspiration. And inspiration I have. But, I have two three other projects I must finish before I am allowed to start working on anything from the book.

Last Minute Fabric Gifts was on Austina’s Christmas list. And I ordered it for her. But it didn’t arrive by Christmas morning. So imagine my surprise when my sister unwrapped a gift and it was this book! Turns out someone else also bought Austina the book, so when the copy I ordered arrived today I took a quick glance and declared it was for me.

I am sticking to crochet while I am here in Ohio but look forward to bringing out the sewing machine to get some of these projects done.

Have a craft project to share? Blog it and leave a link over at Cass Knits! We would love to see your progress!

I didn’t get any jewelry for Christmas. But thanks to the folks at D’s Keepsakes, where you can find wholesale fashion jewelry for sponsoring this post.
