Illusion Scarf
Mood:  a-ok
Now Playing: Putting scarf on hold

I have been knitting the Illusions scarf. I have 39 inches done on the scarf. But I am putting it on hold again. I have been waiting for my size 1 dpn needles to come in the mail, and they arrived Friday. I am going to knit a pair of socks with them. I have not knit a pair of socks on size 1 needles yet, and I am looking forward to it. I think that I will cast them on this afternoon.

Chevron Bag

I knit this cute little bag using Lion Brand Wool. the colors are pink, green and purple. The pattern can be found at

Before felting the bag measured 11 inches tall, and 12 1/2 inches wide. After felting the bag measured 7 inches tall and 9 1/4 inches wide.

I just love Fall colors

Now Playing: crochet slippers

Fall colors are my favorite colors. I used Red Heart yarn, the color fall to crochet these slippers for myself. I like them so much, that I am going to crochet some for family and friends. I found the pattern in Interweave Knits Holiday Gifts 2006. the pattern is easy and works up fast.
