This is the sweater I knitted for Gybsen for Christmas. I used Cotton Ease yarn and I got the pattern from here http://www.worldvision.org/content.nsf/getinvolved/knit-for-kids?Open&lpos=ctr_txt_knit-for-kids
I chose Cotton Ease yarn because I didn't want it to be too hot. I did have to use a smaller needle size, probably because of the yarn I was using. I added a bit to the sleeves. After I sewed the top seams together I knitted across the ends of the sleeves for 12 rows then I switched colors and put a ribbed cuff the same number of rows as the ribbed part on the bottom. Then sewed up the sides and arms and Voila!

These are 2 of the scarves I made for Knitz 4 Vetz. It is a project for a knit shop called The Knit With. It is in Philadelphia. They are collecting scarves for wounded soldiers in a hospital in PA. Many of the soldiers have skin grafts so they are requesting all natural fibers in the scarves. These are made with Cascade 220 Superwash. It is a lovely soft yarn to knit with and to touch. After using this yarn I am spoiled. It will be difficult to go back to other yarns that are not as soft.

Spiral Brim Hat
I had a little problem with it. I cast on 80 stitches like the pattern says for the adult size. For the brim to make the spiral the pattern has to move over one stitch on each round. If you cast on 80 it will move over 2 stitches. You have to cast on a multiple of 6 plus or minus 1. So I did 79 stitches and it worked fine. If you want the spirals to go the other direction cast on 77 stitches. The only other problem I had is that 6 inches from the beginning to start decreasing is too short for an adult hat. I had to go 8 inches from the beginning before I started before I started to decrease. I used Red Heart Soft and size 8 needles.
