2013 - 284

Project 284 was a tote bag I made as a prize for a little knit/crochet-a-long I hosted on Ravely. The winner's favorite colors are purple, blue, and green, and her chosen themes were owls, dogs, and paisley. So, this is what I found in my stash. Hopefully she likes it! :) Date completed December 24, 2013.

2013 - 283

Project 283 was an apron for work (JoAnn's). I used up some stash fabric and trim, although the pattern is new. Turned out cute and have gotten lots of compliments. The first pic I thought maybe I could get the apron while wearing it but obviously that didn't quite work so I took a second one of it hanging on my door. :) Date completed December 21, 2013.

2013 - 282

Project 282 was finishing up an afghan for my best friend, Carrie. I participated in a square swap this year, and the goal was to get the squares put together in time to give the completed project to her by Christmas (and I just barely made it!). The squares came from all over the world and look pretty good together, I think. Date completed was December 19, 2013.

2013 - 281

Project 281 was a knitted snowman for one of my Christmas Swaps. The pattern is "Oatmeal the Snowman" (paid on Ravelry) and I used up some stash, three strands of Cascade 220 held together for the body, Moda Dea Ticker Tape for the scarf, and Lion Brand Wool Ease for the carrot nose. I ran out of time for the arms, so just used sparkly piper cleaners (to make them look snow-laden) instead of knitting them. Turned out very cute if I do say so myself. :) Date completed December 9, 2013.

2013 - 280

Project 280 was a dishcloth for one of my Christmas swaps. Pattern is Arrow Point out of a book and I used some stashed cotton. Date completed December 9, 2013.

sorry, no pic.
