We have some old leftover boy scout leather working supplies, and we are trying to figure out how to make a weird shaped piece into ornaments. It is like a circle with a handle on it, and 4 or 5 punched holes around the bottom side. So far we have idea to use the leather as the center of a circle and crochet a snowflake around the outside

10 days into the scarves, and I'm almost half way done on both of them.

weather, this is the tutorial I used to learn how to double knit a couple of years ago. She doesn't go too fast, and makes it pretty easy to follow.

rainbowsockmonkey, those look amazing! I want to, in all that free time I totally have, relearn knitting. I had figured out a basic stitch and made a scarf and a half but never really progressed from there. I'm finally almost done with my first stocking. I got stuck on one part so I put them down for a bit and just didn't pick back up until today. I need to just slam the other 3 out and be done now that I have it figured out.

I don't know how to knit at all! 😂 I want to someday, maybe when all these kids are a little older and less needy. Nobody tell me they never get less needy. Let a woman dream.

I was able to sit down and crochet for the last week pretty much all my waking hours other than schooling and cleaning so it will happen. One day.

They're finally done! I need to add initials still but they are done! Let's see if I can just copy the image code from where I uploaded (tapa) the pic in GD.

I'm getting close to finishing the scarves. I have 40 rows left on the unicorn one, and 100ish left on the Mario one. I'm meeting my mom on Tuesday afternoon to swap gift, so I need to have them done by that morning so that I can get them wrapped.

I started on the boys' annual Christmas eve pjs today. In typical 2020 fashion, I did not have enough of the fabric I really wanted to use. So I started pulling out of my stash. I only had enough for one pair of about 10 different fabrics and I'm weird and like them to match. So I ended up with a Buffalo plaid (red and black) and a solid red. One leg is plaid and one solid for both kids. 🤣 I need to do the waistbands and hem the legs and they will be done. That will probably be my project tomorrow while the boys have their "tablet time" and I can send them to their rooms and know I'm safe to work on them. Or I will be waiting until after they go to bed. It could really go either way. 🤷♀️
