A high school friend who knows I knit, contacted me about finishing a sweater her mom had started but passed before she was able to complete it. The main body was done and one sleeve so I finished the second sleeve, added the pockets, bands/collar, and sewed it together. Comfort/joy!#showmeyourknits

#showmeyourknits Shawl!
I love knitting shawls and I made this pattern twice (and I rarely make the same pattern more than once) but this one was made as a fundraiser donation.

#showmeyourknits baby week. A friend asked me to knit a hat for her new grand niece. So I adapted a pattern to make it pink and white and changed the flower on top.

It’s my lovely mom’s 94th birthday. I’m so glad I could travel to Oregon to be with her on her special day!

#showmeyourknits This week’s color work theme is a wrap/ruana/shawl that I made with stashed yarns. I love how it turned out. It used a really interesting construction.

Wearing my warm Silvan Tales Shawl done in brioche today. I love the look and feel of brioche although it’s not everyone’s cup of tea.

I made this blanket and stuffed llama for a friend’s granddaughter. I don’t often make stuffed toys but these turned out so well. One was crocheted and one was knit.
