Alpaca Scarf


My latest craze... Misti Chunky Ribs & Ruffles Scarf. This is a fun, easy knit and will make a great gift. The pattern uses size 13 needles so it knits up quick and the Misti Chunky Baby Alpaca yarn is so incredibly soft it will be fun to wear. Can't wait to give these out at Christmas. The pattern was free from our local yarn store, it is from Misti International, Inc. Fun in any color. So far I have knit in pink, red and brown. If you would like the pattern just let me know.

Felted Clogs




Here is my first pair of felted clogs... I made these for my sister's birthday and she LOVES them. The pattern is Fiber Trends deisgned by Bev Galeskas. I have made about 10 or more pairs now and everyone loves them. These were made with Cascade 220 on the bottom and trim and Cascade Pastaza for the foot part. I love the colors and how they turned out after felting.

Roman Rib Socks


This is my first pair of socks using Socks That Rock... I LOVE this yarn. The pattern is from The Little Box of Socks by Charlene Schurch and Beth Parrott. This box is awesome, I love almost every pattern in it and plan to knit them all (eventually). Socks are my favorite thing to knit right now. My kids especially love them and they are the only thing I can knit for my son that he will wear. I gave this pair to my Mom and plan on knitting myself a pair too. I would highly recommend this great little box.
