Shopping Bag

My recyclable shopping bag was tattered and torn so I decided to put a new cloth one together. This was a very quick and easy project and I plan to make more of them.

Summer Sweater

This is Cece from Chic Knits, just completed. The yarn is a little heavy for really hot days. I like short sleeved cardigans for summer.

A Sweater for Mary Jo

I just finished this yellow sweater for Mary Jo's fifth birthday. I added the lacy stitch to the body because stockinette gets boring!

A Sweater for Scarlett

Completed today. Made from pink Cottonease. It looks pretty big for a 4 year old. We'll see how it fits.

Matt's Baby Surprise

Made for grandson Matt, age 22 months
Yarn: Vanna's choice dark blue and variegated plus scrap
Needles: size 8
took about 1 week to complete

Cardigans in March

Pattern: Knitting Pure and Simple Top Down Jacket
Finished:3-11-09

Pattern: Patton's Must Have Cardigan
Finished 3-25-09

I worked on these two sweaters at the same time, one simple plain knitting, and the other more challenging with cables. Both sweaters are made of wool and here comes spring, so I guess they'll mostly be put away until fall.

Lap Quilt

Finished March 22, 2009.

A Quilt for Matt's Baby Brother

I assembled nine 16 inch blocks, machine quilted them using a free motion foot, then assembled the blocks and applied the binding.

Clapotis #4
for Cathy, intended for Christmas, finished the end of January.

A Quilt for Alejandra

Baby Alejandra Isobel is expected February 9 so here is a quilt I just finished for her today.
