Haley's Sherbet Sweater and Socks




I made the sweater (size 5/6) for Haley using Sirdar Snuggly Magic DK yarn and the Hooded Raglan Pattern also by Sirdar. I used size 3 needles on the trim and size 5 on the sweater. It took me forever and I finally got motivated to finish by participating in the Dog Days of Summer KAL with the Carefree group. When I finished the sweater (August 5th) I decided I wanted to use the leftover yarn to knit her a pair of socks. So I used The Sock Calendar book by Catherine Wingate and Jackie Erickson-Schweitzer and selected the Everybody Wants Sox pattern. Everything fits so I am thrilled. Hopefully when the weater turns a little cooler it will be one of Haley's favorites. I used size 3 needles on the socks. Finished the socks by August 31, 2010.

Jordan's Extension - 2010


Added about 4 1/2 inches (two bottom blocks) to Jordan's sweater I made last June. That boy has grown!!! I used size 6 needles and 2nd Time Cotton.

Bunches of Scarves





I have been busy making scarves for my church (they are going to be Christmas gifts for a group we help). The blue scarf with the purple trim is made with Feathers yarn by Caron and Fizz by Crystal Palace Yarns. The burgendy scarf with the gold trim is also Feathers but with Fun Fur. The gold scarf was knit with Crinkle Yarn and Fun Fur.

The black scarf is Fun Fur. I made it for Marie (a friend from work that made me a beautiful bracelet and earrings). Used size 11 on all of them.

So I will make up for it now.... Sultry Lace Socks (Mississippi) by Debbie Haymark from the 50 Socks 50 States CD. I used size 1 dpn (square) and Crystal Palace Panda Soy Yarn in the Provence colorway. I had a little trouble with the pattern and ended up removing 4 repeats. The little bag is a result of the first sock I started! Finished: July 31, 2010
