Cascade Aran Cable hat


Here's my current creation, the Cascade Cable hat using Aran varigated wool. It's pretty, but a little scratchy. I should've used it to felt with, I'd bet it'd turn out beautiful. Anyhow, I need a hat, & these colors will go with both my winter coats. I'll be moving on to finish my Mom's sweater using Kraemer's Summit Hill. Knit On!!

Jasper Finglerless MItten




Here're a couple pix of my newly finished fingerless gloves using Berroco's Jasper from the book "The Knitter's Bible - Knitted Accessories." They're super, warm, soft, & fluffy, although the pattern was written a bit tricky. I even had to seek out a bit of professional advice from Pat @ Knitwitz, but she got me on track, & here they are!!

Noro Fingerless Gloves


I completely forgot to show my Noro fingerless gloves made with Silk Garden. A wee bit scratchy @ first, but once washed, they were much softer. Cute, eh?

New Knit Group



Okay, so Juliet & I have been going to knitting classes & Stitch n'Bitches @ Knit Witz & Sew Much More in Hellertown. What a great bunch of women. They're great knitters & give us much inspiration, not to mention everyone has varied interests & professions. Plus they do $1 shots LMAO!!! Who could ask for a better bunch of knitting buddies. They've been very welcoming, & we're having a blast!!

ONT: cable hat w/Cascade Aran (pink/tan); 2nd fingerless glove with a flap (using Berroco Jasper).

Stef's leg warmers




And here they are....Stef's leg warmers!! They're a lot nicer up close & personal. Made out of worsted superwash wool from Kraemer's in Nazareth.

Amy's cable hat!!


Here's the cable hat I made for Amy for those cold, blustery days in Boston. I used Rowan Classic Cashsoft Aran...gorgeous yarn. Silky soft, & WARM. Best of all, it fits Amy like a glove, or should I say...."hat." LOL.
