Kollage Square Needles

I recently bought some new SQUARE dpn from my LYS. I had already started a pair of socks in Trekking yarn on size one regular needles and the I changed to the square needles about half way through the first sock (where the yarn started to turn rust colored). I started the second sock in the square needles - what a difference in the stitches - they are so uniform and tight.

More Prizes....

Last year I was so lucky.... I posted a couple of prizes I won and now I have two more to post that I won at the end of the year.

Thank you to Simply Socks Yarn Company for the wonderful Fleece Artist Merino Wool in the vibrant blues and purples. I won that skein for entering the 12 Days of Christmas contest on Allison's blog. Great fun and yarn to boot - who could ask for anything more.

Then, on the Carefree KAL site I won two skeins of Mini Mochi yarn by Crystal Palace Yarns in the Blueberry Pancakes shade. Thank You!!! That was for the Holiday (or not) KAL. I have never used the Mini Mochi yarn before so I had to start a scarf in it for the Olympics KAL - I think it is going to be beautiful!

Mom's Shawl

I made this for my mom as part of the Prayer Shawl group at my church. I used Cachet yarn by Unger from my stash and size 11 needles. I gave it to my mom for Christmas and she loved it so that is what counts. Very cushy feeling and warm but lightweight.
