Beaded Easter Basket

I have finished the Easter basket. Well, ok, technically it still needs stiffening on the handle, but I need to figure out how to do that.

The bug is back

After a break from stitching - partly caused by moving, partly caused by general blahs - I think I'm back to wanting to stitch again. Note: this doesn't mean there will be lots of finishes to show - there's far more likely to be lots of starts :D

But there is at least one finish to show you - DD's jumper (along with reluctant model). And due to my misreading the pattern I made it a size bigger than I intended - this is probably a good thing as I took two years to knit it. On the other hand she is on the smaller side, so it's still too big on her - but at least it will last until next winter, especially since we managed to miss most of this winter (I only finished it a couple of weeks ago). In some photos you can almost tell the sleeves and hood are a different wool to the body - that's because, once again, I failed to read the pattern properly and didn't see the listing for the number of balls of wool to buy until I'd finished knitting. And of course, when I went back to get more wool after finishing up the body and running out of my initial purchase, that wool was no longer available. Oh well, I managed to get fairly close and you mostly can't tell unless you're looking close.

Then I suppose I should give an update of where I'm up to on the wedding sampler (don't think this will be making the first anniversary either):

I think that was all I was in the (active) middle of doing.

So now some new stuff.

First an Easter basket (designed by Cindy Hambrick):

Halloween Treat (an ANG chapter book project by Marilyn Owen) started 2 weeks ago:

And the ANG class I did just this weekend - Austin Postcard by Denise Derusha:

Now do I correct the spelling of weird or do I keep it wierd?

I also got the Texas postcard so hopefully that will show up sometime soon.

I've also signed up for a number of other classes - somehow the buying bug didn't disappear along with the stitchy one, so who knows, maybe some of them will show up here sometime soon too :) And of course as I unpack my stash boxes (almost got some shelves) I might find other things...
