Tea and Roses – a Teapot Cozy

A new teapot cozy for the teapot I recently purchased. This one is made of 2 granny squares to fit each side, then seamed in anyway I could come up with to keep the 2 pieces together. The rose is an Irish rose, free patterns for this are everywhere online. I had the teapot on…

Spice Cake, a Rhinebeck Souvenir

Spice Cake Scarf

Find it on Etsy Find it on Ravelry I've been making this scarf for a little while and I'm really enjoying it, so it's now an available pattern. So far, my favorite yarns to make this in are Berocco Folio and Tosh merino light. Both very different yarns - the Folio is an elegant and…

Lost Souls Shawl

This is a free pattern found on Ravelry and this one is made from Feza Softie. I love that it makes the decorative edge as you go.  

Windowpane Scarf

This Windowpane Scarf was so easy to make and the yarn creates all the "WOW". I had this yarn sitting around for a while and lately, I've been on a mission to use up my older stash when possible. I can't say I'm on a "yarn diet" because, as with ANY diet, I am not…

Yet Another Seraphina’s Shawl

Added one of my picot shell borders. I love the Seraphina shawl - if you haven’t made one - DO IT - This is my 10th! The yarn was dreamy. Use the link above to get any details about the project.

Across The Pond

I tend to make the same things over, and over, and over..... Do you? I just get these favorites going and they're like old friends - familiar and comforting. The South Bay Shawlette by Lion Brand Yarn is exactly one of those for me. This one is in Malabrigo Yarn Sock and is a gift…

Pikachu Hat for my DS

My son has a yellow and black sports car that he calls Pikachu, so he needed a Pikachu Hat. He seems to be really enjoying it too - even asked for a second one.
