A slow week this time! I just have the one new necklace in the shop.

The pendant is sodalite wrapped with steel. The necklace is glass and two varieties of sodalite on handmade silver-plated copper wire links. It's $75 because the pendant took me forever to wrap and because this is not just a pendant on a cord, but an actual pendant necklace.

If you're interested, it's available in my Etsy shop, WidgetsApparel. There's a link to the shop in my pinned post, my blog description, and the notes of this post.

'Oh, Elsa, you're good at crocheting, have you tried knitting?'

Well, yes, but also no

anyone have any explanations on how to use stitch markers with nålbinding/needlebinding - I can't figure it out and it's getting really frustrating

Fingerless mitts I created of my own design.  The cable pattern idea came from Viking Patterns for Knitting by Elsebeth Lavold.  Looking forward to exploring more of that book and her Viking Knits and Ancient Ornaments.

First nalbinding project done: started off as practice for a baby hate, but it turned into a dice bag. Holds what is almost a full pound of dice, with room for more. Also, my needle from windhaven fiber arts came in! I'm very pleased with it. I finished the bag before using the needle, but I started a little chain with it and am impressed with how well it works.
