non knitting

I took one sewing class and now I am hooked. Apparently with no sewing skills you can make a pillow in four hours! I even went back and made another one (this time it went much faster) and now the couch has two.

clapotis fini

Clapotis is complete. Je ne sens pas de français.** Since I am wearing this as a scarf and not really as a wrap I don't know if I would have used such expensive yarn....but it does feel nice.
**I don't feel French.

clapotis in progress


I am about 45% done with clapotis, but I am not as excited about the project as I was when I first started---probaly because it is taking me longer than I thought.

winter warmth


I just finished making this pumpkin colored oversized scarf--just in time for the end of Fall. It is 100% wool (malabrigo aquarella yarn) and very cozy. I used size 19 needles and added some fringe at the ends.

baby booties


These baby booties are from Erika Knight's baby book, Simple Knits for Cherished Babies. I used Lorna's Laces Angel yarn. This yarn is ultra soft as it is hand dyed Angora/Lambswool yarn.

"penny" dog sweater done

Look how cute Fenway is in his new baby alpaca sweater.
It will certainly keep him warm in Montana.

Mason dixon knitting dishclothes


I have finished both dishclothes! They are pretty easy to knit the only trouble is that there alot of ends to weave in.
