My first (trial) 2-at-a-time toe up socks

Since then, I managed to make a pair of cable (thin yard) wool socks and another pair that looks like a maze (I'll have to post that one later - they are in the laundry).  I almost gave up on making 2-at-a-time socks after 3 determined, earnest, and failed attempts...over a 2-3 year period.

If only...

Hooked rug with Maya and Joanne (friend) as part of a cod moratorium art exhibit at Five Island Art Gallery.

Teardrop Purses

Same pattern, different fabrics.

Zipper closure with a partition inside.

Fortune Placemats

I made these for a Christmas exchange gift.

Each place mat has 16 possible "fortunes" to pick from at the end of their meal. You pick a slot and pull out (attached by elastic) a fortune.

With matching napkins.

Double-sided, dark versus light pending tableware.

Hanging Slots/Folders

Each fabric is a family member's slot (with their name on it).

Double-sided napkins

I was telling my friend on day that I was planning to make napkins and serge the edge. She convinced me (very quickly) that I should try making double-sided (and more substantial) napkins. I put 'fortunes' on each side of every napkin. This was for my cousin who is getting married this month (missing the wedding - in Ontario).
