Felted Booga Bag

This is a felted bag I made as a shower favor. It worked up very quickly! Lion Brand Midnight Yarn ran when felting so the colors aren't what they should be, but still acceptable. The pattern is free and called Booga Bag.

I didn't do an icord for the handles. Instead, I loosely chained a whole bunch with an N hook and two strands, then I sl st into the underside loop of the chain all the way back.

Liquid Silver Shawl

This is called the "Liquid Silver Wrap" and is from the elann.com website. The laceweight yarn I used is Pure silk 20-2 from Yarn and Fiber Company and is color storm. I highly recommend using laceweight needles, as it makes a huge difference. I only did two repeats wide of the pattern, not three. I got my beads from Hobby Lobby.

The shawl pin is a Fair Trade endeavor by a group called "Rwanda Knits".

School cardigan

This is the cardigan I knit for my daughter for school. It has to be navy blue, but other than that no requirement. (I hope)

Puff Hearts Square

This is my second Biggest Loser II Square. It is 8", done in RHSS Aran. It's a pattern called Granny Hearts from Leisure Arts #2454, Sweetheart Afghans to Crochet.

Popcorn Granny Square

I made this today for Christi for the Friendship Square exchange. It's 8" and is from the book American School of Needleworks 1064, New Granny Afghans... it's called "Snow White Granny"...

Popcorn Stitch Afghan

This is from a stitch pattern called American School of Needlework #1228, 101 Stitches for Afghans by Jean Leinhauser

I used RHSS Coffee, ILTY in Dark Country Blue and RHSS in Aran. It's about 43" x 72". I used a rhdc - ch1 border.

Starlight Square

Made this for a Friendship Swap square.... It's called "Starlight" by Mary Ann Sipes and I found it in a book Leisure Arts #584 Always Afghans.

The gauge in the book was way off, though - I used an I (called for a J) and it was still too big, had to fudge a little.

The yarns are a dark green I had in a Caron One Pounder and some RHSS Aran.

Ornaments

I made these for a swap partner. Please don't make me quote my sources... LOL. I'm too tired to hunt that info up!

Felted Market Bag

I made this for my swap partner as well. It's from How Stuff Works and is done in a variety of different wools. Paton's Brown and Mountain Medley (or soemthign like that) and Lion's Cadet Blue are in there. I adapted teh pattern to make it a little bigger, too. Be careful - either I did something wrong or the pattern has the bottom going the wrong direction. I had to tear mine out and redo it.

Patricia Kristoffersen Doily

I made this for my partner in a swap. It's a Patricia Kristofferson doily from "Absolutely Gorgeous Doilies", #15 Perfect Pineapples.

It's about 15" in diameter.

Dishcloth

I whipped this up in I Love this Cotton #86 Vintage Teal. ILTC is SOOOO soft! I completely see myself making a sweater in this yarn!

The pattern is from the book American School of Needlework Book #1309 Knit Dishcloth Sampler and is called "Chains". It's a very easy pattern to do - very straightforward!

Loser Square

Here is my final square for the first Biggest Loser contest. It's from a pattern in Leisure Arts #588, Crocheted Afghans for Baby called "Flower Granny". It's meant to be done in sport weight and a teeny hook, but I modified a little.

Daughter's School Sweater

This is my first "made to size" knit wearable! It is meant to go with my daughter's school uniform in the fall - it has to be Navy blue. I have three more to make before it gets cold, one for each child!

This took a little less that 4 skeins of RHSS Sport Weight in Navy, and used the (free) Summer Sox Cardigan pattern. If you make this, there are some pointers on the site that would help make this easier.
