Beaded Wrap

This is a kit I bought while at Stitches Midwest last summer. It is a beaded wrap called, Jill and made of cotton with crystal beads. The kit is from Swallow Hill Creations.

The pattern is a variation of the Tilting Block and is very easy to knit. All the beads had to be pre-strung before beginning. The only problem I found is it takes quite a long time to keep pulling up each bead as needed. They have a tendancy to fall back down the strand.

I love the texture of this wrap and know it will be beautiful completed. Hopefully I will have it finished by August for my daughter's wedding.

Black Wool

This is black top with colored mohair mixed throughout. I think it would make a wonderful pair of mittens and scarf. I can't wait to see it plied because the singles are already very pretty. This wool came from Zeilingers in Frankenmuth.

Blue Handspun

I just finished spinning this yarn this morning. It is fine wool and a little bit of bunny mixed in. It is super soft in shades of blue. I ended up with approx. 1600 yards in a worsted weight. I should have enough for a super soft and warm sweater.

Red Sweater and Peach Scarf and Hat

I am back! I haven't updated my blog since July. Wow! I don't know where the time went. I finally have a high speed internet that should make my life a whole lot easier and I will be able to post as soon as I finish new projects.

This is a scarf and hat I made for my daughter during the holidays. It is knit from my peach

handspun wool. It has shades of yellow in pink and it very pretty.

The hat pattern was a freebie on the Canadian Living website. I used the pattern from the hat to make the matching scarf.

The red sweater is a cotton pullover I finished last fall. It is made of TLC Cotton
and the pattern is a top down by Knitting Pure and Simple.
