Grandma's Dress


It is finally finished! This pattern is one from my grandmother's collection and is over 50 years old. She knit this for me in pink 32 years ago and I wanted to make one for my daughter. The yarn is Louet Gems sock yarn which is a beautiful yarn. Great for baby items since it is machine washable. The lace pattern was pretty easy and it is so nice to have this connection to another knitter in the family

Orange Shrug


This is the latest sweater I finished. It is made out of Rowan DK Cashsoft. The pattern is Sidar. This was a fun and quick knit. The picot edging was the most time consuming part, but I love how it turned out.

Intarsia/Double Knit Sweater




I started this sweater a long time ago, but since I have a big aversion to sewing I just finally finished it. One of my co-workers is due the same time as I am and I made this for her little boy. I used Jo Sharp cotton yarn. It was on sale at my LYS and I understand why. It is so splitty and not very easy to work with. Cotton yarn is one of my favorite things to work with, so this yarn was a disappointment.
