happyI tried another Fair Isle hat. It is called the Cherry Blossom Beanie. But I choose the wrong color yarns. Their is not enough contrast in the colors for the Cherry Blossoms to pop out. I used Lion Brand Wool, the color Autumn Sunset, and Red Heart , the color Light Fuchisa. The pattern for this hat can be found at http://pixiefarts.blogspot.com/2007/10/cherry-blossom-beanie.html
happyI knit this darling little dish cloth with Peaches & Creme yarn, the color Red. The pattern can be found here at

happyThis is a very quick to knit pattern. These mittens are knit with 2 strannds of yarn held together, which makes them very warm, and fast to knit. I used 1 strand of Lion Brand Wool, the color Autumn Sunset, and 1 strand of Red Heart , the color Light Fuchsia. the pattern can be found at

happyI have knit this Fair Isle hat for my husband. I am enjoying knitting these Fair Isle hats, and find them very easy to knit. The pattern for this hat can be found here http://cidermoon.com/cm0122.html
I used Rowan Tapestry yarn, and Nature Spun yarn, the color Eucalyptus
coolI knit this Fake Isle hat using Nashua Handknits Wolly Stripes, in the color Fuschia Bouquet. I was very pleased that this was an easy pattern to knit. It is the first time that I have knit this type of hat. The pattern can be found here at http://www.magknits.com/Nov06/patterns/fakeisle.htm
I am positive that the South Dakota winter wind will not be able to go through this hat. I am sure that it will be very, very warm.

happyI knit Caron's Simple Shrug. I really like the way that it turned out. It will be perfect to wear in the evenings when I am walking my dog Elvis. It is just a little something to slip over my shoulders while we go for our nightly walks.
I used Caron Simply Soft Shadows yarn, in the color Dark Moss. This is a free pattern. You can find it at

If you make this project buy extra yarn. The pattern calls for 4 balls of yarn. I used 6 balls.
hungryMy Sister in law gave me an Amish Friendship Bread Starter. I baked my bread today in mini loaf pans, and got 8 Beautiful loaves of Amish Friendship Bread.
hug meQuick and Easy Pecan Caramel Delights
1 bag halved pecans
1 bag Rolos candies
1 bag of mini pretzels (not sticks)
Preheat oven to 250F. Place pretzels on a baking sheet.
Unwrap Rolos and place one on each pretzel.
Bake in oven for no more than 5 minutes. Candies should be slightly soft, but not melted. Remove from oven and push a pecan into the center of each candy.
Refrigerate until firm. Will look like a small turtle.
