Red Robin Shawl

Image
I absolutely love this pattern and the yarn I used.  Yarn is called Seascape.  It's a hand-dyed yarn by  https://www.etsy.com/shop/DellasCrochetCottage/sold?page=3&ltid=1024812941 She can also be found on Facebook.  She has her own group named The Cottage.  Some of her yarns are one of a kind, sometimes you have to pre-order, too.  She doesn't have all the yarns she dyes in her Etsy shop .  She posts pictures of her yarns on her group or, she can also be found on the group Knitting 3.  Her name is Adella Colvin and she is a very nice person. Pattern costs $5.76 USD. http://www.ravelry.com/projects/InLuvWithYarn/red-robin-shawl

Sundry Shawl

Image
This is a very nice pattern.  It is very wide.  The pattern called for blocking, but because of its size, I didn't have to.  I just ironed it out. Yarns:  Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino in Teal and Ella Rae Cozy Soft Prints in color #2. The pattern costs $5.50, but, well worth the money. http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/sundry  

Meet Sophie!!!

Sophie is the newest kitty to our  cat family.  She is a Maine Coon mix, born May 20th of this year. She is always purring and loves falling asleep in my arms while I play my Facebook games.  She's another cat that loves my yarn.                            

Wiggle Lace Scarf

I'm very happy with this pattern, especially with the yarn.  I made it a shawl, instead of a scarf.    The yarn is HiKoo by Skacel . The yarn has sequins and clear beads. The pattern is free on Ravelry.   http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/wiggle-lace-scarf

New Books

I enjoy knitting shawls, especially with sock yarn. I'm called the Shawl Queen in one of my knitting groups on Facebook.      I purchased these on Amazon. The Curls book is all charts only.                    

Edith Cardigan

This is another WIP (work in progress).  I purchased the book on Amazon.  It's by Quince & Co yarns.  This is the first book, I've purchased, that I love all the projects!!! The yarn I'm using is Plymouth Homestead, 100% Wool, in color 008-Federal Blue.  I just love this yarn and hope it doesn't get discontinued.  This is an oversized cardigan and very simple.  NO BUTTONS!!!  LOL  Here's the link to Ravelry, if you want to see more finished cardigans. http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/edith-9 I love the detail on the back.

ZickZack Scarf

This is a WIP (work in progress).  I'm using Knitting Fever Painted Desert fingering weight yarn, in colors #22-Sweet Rainbow and #02-Spring Green, on a US 3 needle.  I love the combination.  Free Ravelry download. http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/zickzack-scarf This is what happens when you leave your project unattended for just 5 minutes!!!!  I have a cat that just loves my yarns.
