Spinning adventures

So I have been enjoying my summer so far--soon I will have to start studying for placement exams for the fall, but for now I've been occupying myself with knitting, crocheting, embroidering, and spinning!! Spinning is a highly addicting hobby. I keep falling even deeper into it.

New Pattern on Ravelry!

Hi everyone,

I have been very busy attempting to get into grad school for next year, but I managed to post the pattern for my Solidarity Mittens today. These mittens are the ones I knit for my mom last christmas. They were inspired by the WI capitol protests in February 2011.

This is a picture of my mom and I protesting together. :)

Christmas Present

Well, Christmas is over and I finished a lot of handmade christmas presents!

For my grandmother, I knit some mini christmas stocking ornaments. I loved this gift, as I just knit them throughout the year whenever I wanted a small, easily finished project. And I think they turned out adorable!
