When we walked in and saw the teacher's fox in person, we were intimidated. She walked us through the steps and we all ended up with our own nice foxes. My fingers are healing.

Here's the class photo

So cute!

I was just gifted with a free spot in a 6 month creativity program! Don't have many details yet as to what it entails.

That sounds like a great gift. Enjoy.

I am envious. I have seen those foxes in a craft store ( also in a curled up position), but they wanted $45 for one.

Maybe you should send the money to @Northwind and get her to make you one instead.

I'm not surprised. The foxes are made with roving (unspun) wool. It's not cheap. $45 is reasonable.

No question. It’s just not in my budget.

Not sure how I did it but I managed to make a very serious mistake in my fingerless glove - easier to just start over so took it out...now I can't get it started correctly again - seem to be all thumbs suddenly.

Ooo - that was me a couple of nights ago!! Tore that thing out a couple of times!! Remember tomorrow is new day - fresh start!! You'll get it.

And the good thing about yarn is it is flexible and can reknit or recrocheted.

Just got it started again I'm obviously not at the point of being able to knit and watch TV at the same time yet.

Amen!

Glad that you got to do this bit of creating Northwind. Mr Fox is awesomely adorable.

I usually have various projects on the go - some is "TV knitting" or "car knitting" (when I'm a passenger of course!) and others are "sit quietly and concentrate knitting" - you're not alone!! When I get too cocky & think I'm doing really well with a pattern of "sit quietly" knitting - and watch some TV etc - that's usually when I screw up!! LOL How many times does it take to learn this lesson???? I've also learned that it's okay to rip stuff out and start again - which is not uncommon for me when I'm starting something new! Takes me a while to 'make sense' of a pattern sometimes.

I've only been knitting fairly consistently for 2 years thought because I'd already made 5 pairs of these fingerless gloves I knew the pattern well enough to be able to knit by memory (not looking at the pattern) and mostly by feel - guess not! All my knitting/crochet is basically "sit quietly".

 

[BethAnne]

Just sold my first crocheted item - a pair of slippers!!! And I almost wasn't going to open the sales today as I feel tired after pulling a whole bunch more GIANT carrots.

If they are all like the one in the picture, I'd hate to see the rabbits that eat them.

Yes, they are that size and bigger

I may have gotten a family physician. Fingers crossed. A friend "knows people" here and apparently one agreed to take me on. I've just called the office and the staff person will confirm with the physician. This will be a huge load off my mind.
