[Nfb-krafters-korner] What is on my needles?

[Dixie]

Well, 
 
I am breaking into my yarn stash, using quite a bit of yarn right now.
 
I am as a friend says on a yarn diet.  That means no more purchasing until I
eat through some of the stash.
 
 
I am knitting a grocery bag dispenser in Ramona's email class.  I am though
changing it up a bit and adding a couple of cables to add some texture to
the finished project.  For this I am using a hank of water buffalo yarn in a
bright blue.  I had won it at a tea cup auction and thought it much to
scratchy to use in a garment.
 
 
I am also working on a couple of dish cloths to see how they work up for
classes later this year.
 
Of course these are done in cotton.  I have several cones of cotton for
these projects.
 
I am also taking Barb's loom knit shawl class, but, have just ripped back
and will start over again as I wasn't happy with the work I had done on that
.
 
For this I am using 2 threads together.  A friend of mine goes to a shop
where they get cones of mill ends.  She gets them for about $2.50 a cone and
I am going to use them for my prayer shawls.
 
I too am looking forward to Annette's and Karen's upcoming classes.
 
Finally, I have just designed a new cabled wine bottle cozy  , that I am
looking into teaching later this year.    I am quite pleased with the way it
is turning out.
 
 
I unfortunately missed Joyce's mitten class last week as I had to take a
training for my position as membership database manager for GDUI.  I did
though see your directions here on list Joyce, and will be ready to go on
Thursday evening.
 
This I will be knitting with some of my homespun yarn.  This particular yarn
has much of the lanolin left in it so it is more waterproof when knitted
into mittens.
