hug meMy Granddaughter Casey loves the pink camouflage clothing. I found this Red Heart pink camouflage yarn and knit her a hat for winter. It is a fiber trends pattern.
This hat will be perfect for her. I am knitting her a pair of mittens to match the hat.
happyThis is my very, very favorite mitten pattern. It is easy, it works up fast, and they fit perfectly. It is Bev's THE Mitts pattern, which can be found here

For Roxann's mittens I used Caron Black Magic, the color Lilac Dream. For Susan's mittens I used Sensations Bellezza Collection Cosetta, the color is called Dark Multi.
Both of these yarns are a wool blend. So they are washable and warm.
My Sisters are sure to have warm hands this winter.

happyMy Son Dillon needed a new hat. My knitting friend Ariel had the perfect Beanie pattern. It was easy to knit and worked up fast. I used Wool-Ease yarn, the color is called Wood. I used Wool-Ease, because I wanted the hat to be warm, and washable.
Thanks for the pattern Ariel!!!

happyI went to a Fall Arts Festival last Saturday. I bought this hand spun wool from a lady that lives in Groton, South Dakota. she raises the sheep, and cleans the wool and spins it all by herself.
I dyed it with Kool-Aid. I used strawberry, and pink lemonade flavors. To get this color. I think that I will either knit a pair of mittens with it. Or a hat. I haven't decided yet.
