It was made as a gift though, so it is enjoying its new home somewhere in time and space away from me. Although, I may have had just enough scraps left over to make a second, similarly themed project...

Tardis Geekery
This post is not historical at all. And not about theatre or truly even knitting (although it does connect to that tangentially). No, this is shamelessly showing off the cool thing I made. If you don't watch Dr. Who (in which case what planet are you on?!) you won't get the full awesomeness of the geekery involved in this project. It is a double point knitting needle holder themed on the Tenth Doctor. I even got special print on fabric so that I could print out the Tardis Police Call Box signs and the surprise Doctor image on the inside. No iron on was used in the making of this. It is all layered appliques with quilted designs for contouring the Tardis panels.

New projects
Yes, I'm still alive. I may, in fact, start making myself blog a bit about things I am up to so I start keeping track of What I am doing currently.
Plans for this spring involve in no particular order:
Making four sets of Landsknecht outfits for lending purposes
Making a mid-18th century ensemble for myself (exact date TBD)
Finishing knitting the other four socks to go with the first half of four pairs I have started already
Design and build a dance show for work
Attend several workshops and play production events throughout the area
Start researching/designing for Twelfth Night this summer
Get geared up for the next reenacting season with research and kit enhancement
Find a house and move into it by the end of summer
Finish the tub of sewing WIPs that have languished for far too long in the closet(already begun)
See if I can get involved in volunteering at the local historic home site
See about making some friends local to the area so I can hang out and play games with people without driving a minimum of two hour each direction to see them
Updates on this as time progresses. As a teaser, here is the design sketch for the first Landsknecht lending outfit.
