Harry Bear
Mood:  hug me
Now Playing: Knit A Long
I participated in a knit a long with one of my knitting groups. We did the Harry Bear. The pattern for Harry Bear can be found at http://www.berroco.com/exclusives/harry/harrybear.html I used Lion Brand Chenille thick and quick yarn in the color Terracotta for the bear. I used Red Heart Bright and Lofty for his scarf. He is sooooooo soft and fuzzy and cuddly.

Scarf and mittens for Casey
Mood:  hug me
I liked the Multi directional diagonal scarf so much, that I had to make one for Casey. I used Red Heart yarn in the color Red, White, and Blue to match her winter coat. I also used my favorite 2 needle mitten pattern to make her a matching pair of mittens.

Mood:  happy
My husband really has a green thumb, and does all of the gardening at our house. But today I did pot an Double Impatient flower, which is in our South Porch. I think that it is so pretty.
