‘s Gravenmoerse pendant
I wear my blue pendant so frequently that I thought I would make one for myself and my mom using the thread kit that I bought from Lacy Susan at the IOLI convention. This one is going to get a lot of wear also because I seem to have a lot of browns and greens in my wardrobe this year!

Schneeberger lace
I finally finished my Schneeberger lace bookmark that I traveled to Moline to take the class in August. It was good practice for me since I haven’t done any Schneeberger in about 10 years! There were LOTS of sewings in this project and I don’t think I would recommend it for a beginner.
So, now I’m ready to start some of the bells from the Brigitte Bellon book that I bought this summer at convention. I have the bobbins wound and the pricking ready to go; BUT I have two projects that must be finished first because they have a deadline. I hope to finish one of those things tonight and maybe I’ll start the bell tomorrow? That is, if I don’t get sidetracked by knitting…
On the knitting needles I have a pair of socks for me and a vest for me. I’m a very selfish knitter right now. But that’s only because I’ve finished one Christmas present already and am waiting for the yarn and needles to arrive so I can start more presents. I feel pretty confident about my ability to complete the items on my list except that OMG it’s October already! And nearly halfway into October! That’s okay, I know I can start one more project this weekend and get it done then I’m 2/7 of the way through my list…
