For this week, I have made lots of progress on Myrna, and here she is:

 I made one hat for Thomas's teacher, just one more to go.


And finally, I will leave you with a sneak preview of a product I would like to go on the stall.

  1. That jumper will look cute on your daughter. Nothing beats girly and warm. The stitches on the teacher beanie look so nice and neat. A hat is always in need. Good luck on this craft stall project.

  4. Great list! Of course, any list that starts with "Projects for me" is a good one in my opinion :)

  5. I did not add my sewing, cross stitch or quilting as I was afraid I would put people "over the top"..my post was long enough as you'll see. LOL! I love your projects and those are big items like jumpers. Love the teacher hat...beautiful knitting. I want to learn double knitting this year too and I have a heart scarf on my project list that is a tutorial if you want to take a look. Now I just need tutorials for the other skills I want to learn. So glad you have been here this year and really looking forward to another year of your projects.

  9. How on earth do you manage to stick to something like this? I have my crafting schedule sorted out up until Christmas this year, but a week later am already thinking up new things (and seeing new things on knitting blogs, thanks for that) that I'd rather make instead!
