Scarf



















I made this scarf from Cara's March scarf pattern. Quick and easy. I used 4ply cotton chenille doubled up and it is so soft and squooshy since being washed.

Kaleidoscope all done


Here is my Kaleidoscope. I really enjoyed making this blanket.

It's 37 by 48 inches and is based on some older graph designs that had been given to Cara for use on her site.

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.

Baby Thong Sandals







I made more :) LOL. I just love the pink and brown (Rich Pink and Peat Brown by Phentax) The yellow and orange (Banana Yellow and Hot Orange by Bernat Cotton) are nice too, just not as nice as I thought they would be.
The pattern for these sandals can be found HERE

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.
