Craftin Bonanza

Hello, friends!  It has been too long once again.  Lots is happening, crafting-wise!

I finished this Ramboillet:

I tried to do lined-up colors in plying, and they lined up for a bit and then got pretty barber-pole-y.  After getting it all done, I realized that I should probably have cut the one and then gotten the colors lined up again, but yeah, I'm not doing that, so it is as it is.  It is insanely squishy, which I attribute more to the fiber itself than my spinning.  


This little guy is a pincushion I'm making for Older Kid, who is way into sewing and keeps making off with one of my pincushions.  It is fiddly.  Verrry fiddly. 


The cute little bunny rabbits fussy cut for the pincushion are also featuring in this baby quilt I'm throwing together upon hearing that a very loose acquaintance is having a baby in January.  Not sure if it's a boy or a girl, so I went with bunnies with what I think is a very neutral palette:


It's going very fast because it's what I can work on during the many hours of the day where a kid will just walk right into my room to see what I'm doing.  


This is not one of those things - a Pisces cross-stitch for Kid Two:

This is a very fun stitch. 


This hat is for Kid Two as well.  It needs a matching cowl, which I have a pattern and contrast color for, but haven't been able to bring myself to cast on for, despite a couple months of trying.  Mosaic knitting takes attention and must be done in secret, a double whammy. 


There is so much more stuff, but that's all I can share for now.  Happy crafting!
