Beadery ~ Snowflake #2

New and improved swarovski crystal snowflake ornament!

It's difficult to photograph this lovely piece to capture the sparkly-loveliness.  My mom will be taking it to Nicaragua as a gift to her hosts while she volunteers.

Spinning ~ First Angora Bunny Project

From this fluffy, fluffy bunny.....

I knit this beautiful, super-soft, super-duper warm 

neckwarmer/headband.

It took three months 

for her to grow enough fur for this project, 

probably 10 hours to spin it, three days to shock & dry it, and maybe six hours to knit.

It's worth every minute.

Thanks to my boyfriend for the photos, and to Clive for the fur!

Stitches ~ Mittens

I made a pair of mittens for my dear cousin for Christmas.

The insides are hand-knit to wear in the spring/fall, 

the outsides are coyote fur, with a beaded deer hide cuff.
