Hearts on a String

This was my house a month ago

but now

The snow has melted, the lights are put away. Last night the local fire department had their annual Christmas tree bonfire. Like an exclamation point to the end of the holiday season.

The Jigs

Joe, Inell, and Gabe.

Inroducing Nellie

Nellies mitts and cowl. I'm teaching Nellie to knit, the worlds fastest learner figured it out in less than one row and is working on a wash cloth.

Weclome to SpindleJigs

After years of making Christmas presents for family and friends I finally decided to take the ''You should sell these'' suggestions to heart. I just finished my first craft show/bazaar season and had a blast.

These mitts are my first project of the New Year.

Super soft cashmere and velvet. (or a thrift store sweater and an old curtain)
