Camisette finale

My last 2015 project is finished - Camisette from Jane Austin Knits (Fall 2012).
I am not entially satisfied with the result but it is wearable.

Christmas Village

There are a lot of things I have not finished this year (although I hoped to) but Christmas ornaments are done.
Bakery is from 2014.


Two more years and I will have a full set.

Green results

It took me just :) three months to finally produce 10 gr of cotton. But what a result - I did not believe till the very end that it would become green after boiling, and it did!
I wonder, how much more cotton I need in order to start weaving towels...

Second batch - brownish easy-to-spin sliver. Ten more grams to go!

Time to ply

I've managed to spin four tiny bobbins of green cotton. Now it's time to ply. 
I am supposed to get something similar to 8/2 or 10/2 cottons. Looks about right...

Besides, now I am a lucky owner of two lightweight spindles. I am planning to use them for yak and silk fibres I already have. 
Can you have enough spindles, I wonder?...

Pagoda View from Maia

This year I did not have much time for cross-stitching, but I feel like I need at least to finish what I started. I began Maia's Pagoda View back in April; it took me almost eight months to finish what seemed like a simple design.

One down, one to go

Christmas ornament meant for November is stitched and done.

It will keep company to other two from 2012 and 2013.

Camisette

My filet camisette is moving slowly...
But as it is only 25 rows long, it may be finished soon.
