project 92 (Mobile) #2

From me Wind in the Wildwood.

project 92 (Mobile) #1

My big boy surprised me one morning when he had these felted hearts set out for me to see, with this sweet note. On another day we made pompoms together.

February, project 92

Wow, I am a bad bad host. I just spaced out February, thinking I had already posted the project for the month. All of you really need to just yell at me, "Hello Anna, where are you?" Okay, here we go...

Project #92: Mobile: felt hearts and woolly balls, on page 129, of the 2005 edition of The Children's Year. Just in time for Valentine's, it should be fun. Want to craftalong? Please do. I will try my very best, to be a good good host. Craftalong with love. Anna

project 103 (Bird table) #1

Here is our (Wind in the Wildwood) birdfeeder. Eoghan is in cub scouts, and has been practicing knots with his grandpa; so, he tied the stop knots on the bottom (the knot is called the worm).

January, project 95

Happy New Year! Welcome back to all my craftalong friends, and welcome to all the new. I am so happy to be continuing our craftalong, and I thought we could start off with...

Project #95: Doll, on page 134, of the 2005 edition of The Children's Year. One of the most important toys for boys and girls alike? Absolutely!

Want to craftalong? Please do. You may email me the pictures of your completed projects along with a description (you do not need a blog to join in). Craftalong with love! Anna

December, project #103

Project #103: Bird table on page 154, of the 2005 edition of The Children's Year. A very simple project, and a sweet gift for our feathered friends. I can imagine that children would love to help drilling holes in the wood, and finger knitting cords; adults too! Craftalong with love! Anna

January, project 108

At first I thought we could all just pick any project from the current season/section, but working the same project together will be great (as it is a craftalong). In this way we could all see the results of the same project with wonderful variations.

January's craftalong will be project 108, the Needle Case

I love this project, perfect for a beginning knitter (whether that be an adult or child).

Located on page 159, it is a very simple knitted rectangle; using wool felt for the needle pages, and two cords to tie. It calls for DK wool and a pair of size 4 needles. However one can use any type of wool and needles to achieve the envisioned result.

Craftalong with love! Anna
