Socks & Sweater...

Sam knit her first pair of Queen Kahuna socks.  She used Heritage sock yarn for this project.  They turned out beautifully!

Sam said she loved how this sock turns out.  At first it was a bit difficult to decipher the pattern...but, with a bit of help she has now mastered this great sock!  Sam has the extra challenge of figuring out patterns for her left-handedness....she says she's going to re-write the pattern to accomodate this fact.

Linda M. knit her pair of Queen Kahuna socks out of Mountain Colors Crazy Foot.  Her cuff was made on the shorter side with ribbing.  Queen Kahuna guides you to make any type of sock once you have the pattern mastered.  Linda did a beautiful job!

Nancy P. knit this beautiful sweater out of Comfort.  The buttons pull the sweater together and give it a very pretty, finished look.  Thanks for sharing with us Nancy!

Carol Higgins knit these beautiful socks out of yarn that Christiane brought back from Switzerland that she gifted to her.  These socks look like a Monet painting in person.

Bandit is looking a little forlorn as she knows that soon the shop will be closed for a couple of weeks.  

Baktus, Saroyan and Georgene...

We have some lovely scarf projects in the shop.  These are simple projects but, with the right yarn they turn out beautifully.  Made in a variety of sizes you can see the different effects each drape has.

Marge B. knit three Baktus scarves up in different sizes and yarns.  This one is made out of 350yds Kureyon Sock yarn.

Baktus scarf on Ravelry medium in 2 skeins each of Mini Mochi and Louisa Harding Angora.  This feels like a dream around your neck!

This Baktus is a large size made using 800yds out of 1skein Berroco socks metallic and 1 skein Heritage.

Saroyan scarf pattern was made using 3 skeins Shibui Baby Alpaca DK.  Of course any yarn can be used in these projects with needle adjustments as needed.  This scarf was inspired by the TV show Bones and is part of a series that include Traveling Woman and Temperance.  The patterns for all of these are found at feministy.com.

Georgene by Berroco was made using 3 skeins of Misti Alpaca. The pattern calls for 6 skeins of Geode.

Horizontal Cowl uses 1 skein of Cascade Magnum.  If you use 2sts. less you will get more length.

Marge did a beautiful job on all of these projects.
