I got this really cute polka dot fleece at JoAnn's on sale the day after Thanksgiving. I made the holes with the skip-stitch rotary blade, then put the crocheted edge on it. This one is for the St. Ann Sewing Seams of Faith group. I got enough fleece to make another one for a Christmas gift.

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.

I just made this double pointed knitting needle holder. I got tired of keeping them in a zip lock bag.

Drop Stitch Scarf

This is a drop stitch scarf made with size 17 knitting needles and Trendsetter Dolce Yarn. It is a ribbon yarn. I really like the colors. It is blue, lavender, green, and yellow. It is only about 2 1/2 inches wide but it is 82 inches long.

Frilly Scarf


These scarves were a lot easier to make than they look. All you do is knit in the edge of the ribbon. The yarn is Filatura Di Crosa by Moda.

Flower Fun


The first picture is crocheted flowers and the second picture is felt flowers. It is fun making them. I like to put them on purses. They would also be really cute attached to a hat or a hair clip.
