Here is 56 assorted crochet hooks. Yep 56!
pretty much quarantees that I will have the correct hook for my project no matter where I am. Lol
I also won a HUGE lot of knitting and more crochet hooks. Awww man this is wonderful!! My most recent win is a needle felting kit with wool roving. I have been eyeing all of the wonderful creations on Ravelry for sometime and finally decided to take the plunge. Heheheee also have some other colors of wool roving I'm bidding on, we will see how that goes. :D
Started on a grey wool jumper for Miss Aubri today, maybe I'll be finished by the time the chill in the air gets here. After its made will make a little pink top with a peter pan collar. CUTE!!
Well thats all for now!
DeeDee
ps: on a side note..... All of my way to tardy swaps are now shipped!!! Yea and thanks to my wonderful partners for being so patient with me. ;)

Kurt gave me the ok and I ordered it today!
Well a knitting machine!! Not a really expensive one but a Bond knitting machine from JoAnn's Fabric and Craft And with the 40% code on the website it was just a few dollars more than the one without the extra attachments!
Nice thing about it is it will take all kinds of yarns from pencil thin to bulky and fancies and it has the row counter and the extension attachment included! I cant wait to try it out, will be good exercise for my left arm that refuses to reduce its size any!
So one day if you come over and hear a swoosh swoosh coming from the livingroom or my bedroom or eventual re-opening of my sewing room then I will be making something special for someone.
I can see wonderful baby blankets, scarves for all of my friends ((wink wink)) and who knows maybe a sweater or two when I get good at it. :-D
It will use machine patterns as well as hand knitting patterns and even though it is an unexpensive machine will be a good first time one for me!
Here is what it looks like:
Using cotton in white and colored embroidery thread to do the features and then stitch it onto the onesie, I think it will be the cutest thing ever! I am probably going to knit up a blanket in squares and then put him or her onto the blanket in a pattern scattered around.
