Jordan's Sweater

I made this sweater for my Grandson, Jordan. Since I am a slow knitter, and I was pretty sure it would take me forever, I made it a little on the large size... better that he be able to grow into it! I used 2nd Time Cotton from Knit One Crochet Too in the Glacier shade. The pattern, Jake, was from the Rowan Junior book by Kim Hargreaves.

June 2009

I made these socks using Opal yarn from my stash and the Knit to Fit Ankle or Calf Socks by Nancy Lindberg.

Sock a Month KAL - May

I made these socks for my daughter, Tracie, using Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock yarn in a blue, tan and pink shade from my stash. I used the Cabled Sweat Socks pattern by Claire Ottman in the Socks magazine by Spin-Off and size one dpn. Great pattern and wonderful yarn - I added mohair to the heel and toe.

April Socks

Made these socks for a friend's grandbaby using a standard baby sock pattern from the book Knit a Dozen Baby Socks, Sockotta yarn and size 2 dp needles. Then I added the hat to match - great pattern (Jewel) by SockPixie. Loved the way the colors turned out with the little mitered squares at the bottom and then picking up stitches and knitting in the round. A very fast knit... and since I am slow as molassas it was fun!

Lace Ribbon Scarf KAL

Hello - Gosh I have been B-A-D at posting my finished knitted goodies. I am going to try to catch up in the next few days. This scarf was so much fun to knit. A KAL was started on Ravelry by SSYC's Allison. The pattern was free on Knitty.com and so easy to follow - when I can tell where I'm at I consider it easy. I used Lorna's Laces Buck's Bar in a sport weight yarn. I made this for a special friend for Christmas - she lives in cold weather. I lost my camera (temporarily misplaced) in our move so I wasn't able to take a picture before I mailed it to her so she sent me this picture. I wish I would have had a camera when it was blocking on the floor but this will give you an idea of the final result.
