Neckwarmer for Casey
Mood:  hug me
Now Playing: The winter set for Casey

I have finished Casey's neck warmer. This should keep her neck and her nose nice and warm this winter when she is snowmobiling with her Dad. I used a Lion Brand pattern Luxurious Neck-warmer. I used Red Heart yarn, the color pink camouflage. I am just sure that Casey will look so cute in this set.

Mittens for Casey
Mood:  hug me
Now Playing: 2 Needle Knit Mittens for kids

I knit my sweet Granddaughter Casey a apir of mittens to match her hat. I used Red Heart yarn, the color Pink Camouflage. She just loves that color, and wears a lot of pink camouflage clothing. The pattern for the mittens can be found here

They were easy to knit and worked up fast. Now I have cast on a neck warmer for her, to match her hat and mittens.

Mittens for my Sisters
Mood:  happy
Now Playing: Bev's THE Mitts

This 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

http://www.bevscountrycottage.com/the-mitts.html

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.

Lacy Mock Cable socks
Mood:  happy
Now Playing: Kool aid dyed yarn
I bought some Knit Picks Bare yarn, and dyed it with Kool aid. Then I decided to knit the yarn into socks. I choose the Lacy Mock Cable Socks pattern. Which can be found here
http://www.islandofmisfitpatterns.com/2006/07/14/lacy-mock-cable-socks/   I did not carry the Mock Cable down the foot of the sock, because I wanted to see the colorway of the dyed yarn. I like the way that the socks turned out.
