Finished Projects

This is a cropped halter top I designed in Crystal Palace's
Summer Net yarn. I love to work with Summer
Net, as well as Big Net.

My first pair of socks! I knit them on 2 circulars
using Ann Norling's "Adult Sock Pattern." I found
the pattern to be easy to follow. I used cable cast
on for the top and decided it's just not stretchy enough
for me to make socks that go further up my calf.
The yarn I used is Cleckheaton Country Naturals
8-ply. It was lovely to work with and has yielded
a sock that is warm and comfortable. I would
use it again for other projects.

Current Projects

Christmas stocking I'm making for Mom. It's from the
book "Knit Christmas Stockings!: 19 Patterns for
Stockings & Ornaments" edited by Gwen Steege.
The red is a cranberry color and is the same red as
I used on the stocking below. The yarn used is
Lion Brand Wool-Ease.


Stocking I made from the book "Socks Socks Socks."
The pattern is named "My Christmas Stocking"
by Claire Kellogg. It turned out smaller than I
would have liked, but I like the design and the top
treatment. Please ignore the ends I still have to
run in. Each point around the stocking will have
jingle bells sewn to it. This might be a gift for my
dad, or I might make a larger stocking instead.
I've not yet decided. The yarn used is
Lion Brand Wool-Ease.


Front view of a vest I am developing in Musique.
That's Duffy in the top left corner of the picture -
he just couldn't resist getting his pic snapped.
I'm not happy with how the front band has turned
out. Because of Musique's thick and thin nature,
it is distorting the stitches. I think I will rip it out
and do it again with fewer stitches to keep the
vest from forming points.
