Last knit of 2024! A basketweave sweater for my oldest daughter, out of acrylic (she hates wool). It'll definitely keep her warm! Happy New Year, and may all your knits be joyful! #knitting @knitting

Just finished blocking this year's ARNE & CARLOS knitalong stocking! This one's for Joey, and is just as huge as the last one of theirs I did. It was for his sister, though, so I guess it's good they're the same size. #knitting @knitting
Finished! This is an ARNE & CARLOS pattern, with Gabi's name on top. I think I should have paid more attention to gauge -- this thing is huge! #FinishOrFrogAlong #knitting
I'm not affiliated, but I love Starr Design Fabrics (some gorgeous hand dyes), and they're having a 45% off sale today, in case anyone's in a stash-building mood... https://www.starrfabrics.com/ #quilting #FiberArts
Knitted a trio of sock pairs from a single skein of MadelineTosh Twist Light in Spicy Ramen. (And some leftover black and white Malabrigo Ultimate Sock yarn). My kid Gabi loves spicy ramen, so they're all for her! #knitting @knitting
Made a quilt for the SAQA auction! I called it “Contemplation”. I tried a bunch of new things -- some worked, some didn’t. :D The auction is here if you want to see other quilts and bid on them later this year: https://www.saqa.com/auction #quilting #MastoArt

Finished my huge haunted house quilt! It got kinda wonky, but, well, it's a haunted house. I called it "Bats bats bats" from a hilarious report on bats my oldest wrote in elementary school. Learned a ton, and I love it. :) #quilting #MastoArt
I just finished this quilt for the Cherrywood Fabric Challenge -- they give you the fabric and the theme (Poppy), and you design and make a 20” square quilt. I called it "Needs More Orange," both for the lack of bright contrasts and for having no way to make California poppies. :) #quilting #MastoArt
Finished another sweater! This one is the Save The Bees sweater by EweFeltyThing -- great pattern! I made it in three colors of Miss Babs Yowza. I made it once, gave it to the recipient, and didn't like how it fit her. So I made her a second one in slightly different colors, adjusting the fit and edging, and I'm much happier with this one, though I don't know if she'll notice.
