I've had Italian food on the brain lately - in part because I've been reading a lot of
Donna Leon's mysteries set in Venice. So, yesterday, I did a bit of stitching (finally) and also made some homemade "finger" pasta with some friends. This little mini is for the
6-12" trading swap. I definitely need to practice my free-motion handwriting, but it was fun working with solids!
Here's a photo of a another great deconstructed 'melanzane'.
There has also been knitting! The bumble bee socks are finished - a little wide in the foot, but otherwise, I'm pleased. I've started my first pair of fair isle style socks, too - windowpane socks, based on photos I've seen on Ravelry (don't have the pattern, but I'm winging it).

It's good crafting weather in these parts!

Beautiful landscape. Your little mini is great.
your landscape looks so much like ours in Thunder Bay.
I love your little mini too.

Yummy - homemade pasta. Isn't it just a delightful treat? Sweet little quilt. Someone is going to be very happy *s*
Nice warm socks, for the cold feet.
oh happy socks, happy little quilt, and happy little pasta! all wonderful looking.
Lots of great little minis (I'm catching up on 2 posts here). Well done on the socks too!
Gorgeous picture and inspiring craftiness! Btw, I read my first Leon mystery while on a weekend trip two weeks ago... what addiction! :) Want to go to Italy?
