Swirly Hat

I decided to try a new swirly hat pattern for a former student of mine who just delivered identical twin baby girls... so sweet!

My First Sweater!

A good friend is pregnant with a sweet baby girl.  I found this pattern online and decided to try!  Surprisingly, it only took me about 3 weeks to create.  Left with extra yarn, I could not resist adding a hat and socks to go with! :)

Sashay Ruffle Scarf

This is a very simple six-stitch knit that creates a fun, ruffled look.  Click here for color swatches and videos showing knitting and crocheting directions.  It's a nice, quick gift idea! :)

Angel Hair Scarf

I have never felt yarn as soft as Angel Hair by JoAnn Fabrics! It is a surprising blend of wool/acrylic/nylon and even though it shows as "fuzzy" it does not seem to shed!
I just finished this for my mother...and one for my sister! Pattern

Love the ruffled edge!

Hand Warmers

So I'm a bit obsessed with these - quick project and a great gift.  I even made these in Washington Redskins colors for my son's teacher so she can type at school on weekends when the heat is off! :)  There are lots of great, easy patterns out there - mine is in the tab here.

Corrugated Hat and Fingerless Gloves

I found a great pattern for a corrugated hat and became slightly obsessed!  I made one for each member of my family for Christmas.  Then I decided to add on the fingerless gloves. It was so much fun! Pattern

Papa del Penguino!

For Sis and Mom

Since my son declared himself a Steelers fan, much to my disappointment, I had to do this for him.

Apparently a good head warmer for a serious DS game!

My pretty niece

I love the pattern when you reduce the crown!

My sweet twin nephews!

I had to make some for ME!

Wool Felted Hat with Flower

The felted hat project - this one was so much easier than I thought it would be! Merry Christmas to Mom!

Prayers for a Mother

When my cousin became pregnant again after losing her first little boy, I decided to take on the Prayer Shawl project as a gift to her.  I have to say that it was hard on the hands and I really had to persevere through it.  Thinking of the recipient, lighting the candles, and saying the prayers definitely kept me in a frame of mind to finish!

Suede Fun Fur Frenzy

I really like the Lion Brand Suede so I combined it with some Fun Fur and got a great scarf for my niece! I just used a garter stitch to the desired length and it curled into a fun fuzzy frenzy (very ferret-like!)...

Adult Socks

So I took a class on how to make socks because I heard that if you can make a sock, you can make anything!  I became quickly addicted!  I spent the year with sock yarn projects in my purse as I knitted them for all of my friends.  I even created my own directions that I have in my PATTERNS tab for you.
