I first found out about
The Quick Knits Club a few months ago and I kicked myself for not signing up when it started. The previous months have included such fun patterns, yarns, and goodies with a unique aesthetic that I could resist it no longer. In
October, the projects were a knitted mustache and a superhero/villain mask. Cute goodies like monster finger puppets and repurposed sock wristlets just sealed the deal. Signing up for November was a forgone conclusion.
While October focused on costumes, November is all about gift giving. The
Wee Gift Bag is horrendously cute and I love the halo of the accompanying yarn. Hopefully, there will be time for me to make a couple for the tiny gifts I'm sending out this year. The other project, Winter Leaves, is a cute little project(s) that can be used as an
ornament or an off the wall
necklace. Mine are going to end up as ornaments. Maybe I'll even finish them in time to put them on the tree this year. Blasted ever growing Christmas knitting list...
The goodies this month don't disappoint either. I love the vibrancy and color of the photos. Eventually, they're going to be part of a large yarny mosaic. A mix CD,
I wanna be buried in snow, rounded out the package. It's already become my soundtrack for the season. Most of the songs and artists are new to me and that makes this mix even better. My personal favorites are White Flower Hymnal by
Fleet Foxes and This Year by
The Mountain Goats. I've already bought the Fleet Foxes EP,
Sun Giant, and I can't decide which Mountain Goats album to get. Dilemmas, dilemmas...
Anyway, I'm really happy I signed up for this club. It's a monthly shot of creativity and fun and who doesn't need that?
I like to make things. Knitting is my current medium of choice and I want to share it through photos, stories, and patterns.
