Circle Of Friends

Saw this on ravelry and just had to try it.  This is the first time knitting something using a chart.  It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be.  It was amazingly fast and easy.   You can find the pattern here: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/circle-of-friends

Steelers Hats

My son just loves the Pittsburg Steelers. I saw this pattern and couldn't resist making him a hat to match his new sweater. The first one I went strickly by the pattern in size large, the second one I made the small size, I changed the colors around and decreased on every row instead of every other to make it more like a beanie.

Cup Cake Hat for Ms.Dawn

I made this for my GrandDaughter's pre-school teacher...when she found out that I knit, she told my daughter that she had requested one of these from her boyfriend that knits, but he refused to knit it for her so my daughter ask me to make it for her and I of course said YES...
I finished knitting the cherry to go on top, and MacKenzie just had to help stuff it, lol...Then she insisted that Nana add sprinkles to the top of it...
I'm really pleased with the way that it turned out...
I have also knitted 2 more of them for Christmas presents...

I made this for my soon to be hubby's great great niece. She is just an adorable little girl. I am just hoping that she likes it. I was going to make it in a more girly color but her Nana said blue is her favorite color at the moment...

Pinwheel Beret's

Made to match scarfs that I knitted and gave for Christmas presents last year.  I think they turned out pretty.  My daughter just had a fit over hers, lol.  Now I have to do one for my 4 year old grand daughter so she has a matching set.

Scarf & Beret


I was asked to make these for a young lady that my daughter works with.  And of course I was glad to make them.   This is the first time I've made a hat like this, and I am really hoping that Sandra likes it. I love creating & sharing.

Pinwheel Blankie

I finally tried this Pinwheel baby blanket and just love how it turned out.  It is tricky to get started, but once you get past the first few rounds it goes very quickly.

Pinwheel Blankie for Lil Man


Needed something to do when I get bored knitting on the Pall, so I'm trying my had at knitting this Pinwheel Blanket for my newest lil man.  You can get the pattern free on Ravelry.  He isn't mine by birth, but I love him & his mom like they were.  He is the most precious little baby.  He got stuck during delivery and they had to pull on him and now he has Erps Palsy, he can't move his right arm on his own, but the doctors say it will get better over time as long as they continue with the physical therapy.  He is getting stronger and can hold onto your finger so that is a good thing.

Moving right along with this one.  I was hoping to have this one done already but due to getting hurt on the 4th while at the beach I'm so far behind.  I'm now hoping to have it finished by the end of September.  Wish me luck...

Pall - Casket Cover

I am designing & knitting 3 Pall's for a local Funeral Home. After 24 years of knitting it is paying off in a big way. It is great being able to design these. I have never knit anything on this large of a scale before, but so far so good. GOD has blessed with an awesome talent, and I am very thankful.

Christmas Scarfs


I made scarfs for my Grand-Babies to give their teachers at school as part of their Christmas presents. Once I got a few of them finished my daughter picked them up, she ended up falling in love with one and ask if she could keep it, and of course I said yes. She wore it out shopping and to her surprise and mine, one of the ladies at the store wanted one, so she took down her name and I ended up making her one too. Then I ended up making another one to sell after Christmas when one of the parents at my grand daughter's preschool saw the one's I had made the teachers. I love it. They were so simple to make, only took 1 skein of yarn, and they are machine washable & dryable and that makes them very easy to take care of. What started out at 3 ended up at 12, lol.

Horseshoe Print Wallaby




This is the new sweater I am working on. I just love this yarn. Just finished this sweater and I just love it. I am addicted to the wallaby pattern, it is so easy.
