And a bit of crochet...
Yesterday I learned to crochet lace!
I made that snowflake all by myself! A few of us had a little workshop with the amazing lace-crocheter Rachelle, and got to try this simple little snowflake which is - get this - only 2 rounds of crochet! I should have included something for scale, but I'd say it's about the size of a tangerine. It needs to be starched and blocked so the picots don't roll in, but overall I'm very happy with it.
In other news, I'd like to share some socks. These socks are not handknit, in fact they were purchased for about $2 because I saw that they had stars on them and I just can't resist. However I did NOT notice what happened when the designers tried to reverse the image and apparently didn't think very hard.
Yes, my socks say "RATS" on them. I'm amused.

Those socks are just one more reason why handknit socks are better. No self-respecting knitter would have left them backwards.
Well, I would have, but it would have been an "design element," and not a mistake. ;)
Yay, snowflakes! You're now officially invited to join the Snowflake Monday madness. I'd say you're ready. ;) Looking good!
Hey I had been wanting to learn crochet to make snowflakes for gifts next year.... maybe we can have our own little clinic at monday yarning so we all learn to crochet snow!
Oh, those socks are just too funny!
I used to make crocheted snowflakes; I love them. Seeing yours makes me want to make them again.
Cool socks! I would have bought them too!
Haha! That's just too funny! STAR-RATS!!! It cracks me up to no end! Maybe it's supposed to be like that... :)
That's awsome in more ways than you know hahaha!
