Dog Walking Sweater

Fresh off the needles! A Plymouth Encore wool hoodie and it's perfectly roomy and warm and best of all - washable. It's finished and fits without a pattern, just some math! 🪡🧵🧶🐑

Wine Bottle Sweaters

Been locked up for so long, started knitting for my booze! The pattern is the Wine Bottle Sweater by Karla Lockwood. The hats were made by casting on the neck count and just going from there. These are a fun project and people really enjoyed receiving them! Putting this one away for next fall While…

Autumn Leaves Baby Sweater

I've made this a few times - LOVE the pattern. Great baby gift. I found the fabric covered buttons on Etsy at HowBeadyful and they are the 1/2" ones. Too sweet. One is a baby gift, I have the others on reserve as stand-by baby gifts I guess. Like the 2 pink ones I've made…

Jovi Pink Puff Pullover

Who doesn't like to look like a jolly pink elf for winter? It's a pretty sweater, but my choice for the sleeves may look a little weird, but I like it anyway. Made from the Simplest Sweater pattern, which is free. Modified a little by lengthening the sleeves, doing seed stitch of the hem and…

Back home, safe and sound

I'm home from my recent trip north to visit my sister and her family. We had a nice time making paper craft tags and packaging for my Etsy shop. My sister is VERY good at things like this, so I was very grateful for the help. My ideas flourish in fluffy fibers, while her's do…

Camp Loopy 2013 has ended for me

Yesterday I completed my Camp Loopy 2013 challenge. The Gaia cardigan in Cascade 200 superwash. The price is around $11 a skein, but for the rich colors, I feel it's a reasonable price for wool (not 'yarn'). Sure, I could save a lot of money using craft store acrylics (I call these 'yarn'), but for…

Autumn Leaves baby sweater

LOVE this tiny sweater!  It's the 3-6 month size, but it just seems so darn tiny! Autumn Leaves is a free pattern found here and the yarn was Ultra Mellowspun DK, by Mary Maxim. I bought a bunch of discontinued colors (this was Linen #4235) last year for $.97 a ball. I really lucked out.…

Black Striped Noro Sweater

I'm allergic to new and unwashed Noro  - badly.  So, of course I must make a Noro sweater while I have a sinus infection. Makes sense - right? So, sneezing, wheezing and coughing this was Sunday's progress. Notice I forgot to make button holes, so I found 2 great links ( one from TECHknitting and…

Camp Loopy – project #2

For challenge #2 I made an everyday sweater, in white. I know, 2 white sweaters in a month? That's absurd - you betchur sweet yarn balls it is. Never again. Now I'm off to find something more colorful!

Camp Loopy Poject #2

Why did I pick a white yarn again? Hmmm.... Hope that's not going to be a problem. The trick may be some colorful stitch markers then. Something to look forward to making my rounds. This project will take place June 27-July 27 and has to be a minimum of 800yds to qualify. I’ll be making…
