Not a craft but something else i love to do

Posted on February 20, 2012 by Tara Jo

i enjoy many crafts, knitting crocheting, quilting etc. but my real creative love is photography… so i have decided to throw some of my pictures and picture taking excursions here, partly to have more post subjects since my crafting has slowed way down and to share more of my work with friends who aren’t on facebook (yes some people have resisted the draw) 🙂

so to begin!
Saturday Feb 18th a trip to the Safari Park

Tiny little stockings continue… Finally

So finally I am getting some more done on the stocking.   The Kitchener stitch used to finish the toe is a challenge and i didn’t really ‘get it’ until I was almost done so the toe looks ok but it doesn’t look as neat as it should…   I think I have it now though and since it is also used to finish the heel I really hope I have it right. 🙂

Tiny little stockings

Posted on October 11, 2011 by Tara Jo

it has been awhile!  but i am back on the crafting bus 🙂  last night i went to an awesome class for Mini Christmas Stockings.. SO CUTE!  here is the top cuff and the leg of the sock so far.   another 6 or so rows and it will be time for the heel.  once i get that far, i go back to knit night for more direction 🙂   it is a challenge to work on such small needles, but it is a lot of fun once you get going 🙂  the toe and heel will be the red/white/green and the rest of the foot will be the red.

i will keep you updated!
