I crocheted this cute little Ribbed sweater for Elvis in a couple of days. I made it a little smaller then the pattern called for, because the one in the pattern was way to big for him. I used Red Heart yarn, the color Sierra. The pattern can be found at

I have knit a pair of slippers for my Son in law, using my very favorite slipper pattern. I have made dozens of these slippers for family and friends. They knit up very fast and are very warm when knit with two strands of wool held together. The pattern can be found at
