2 of Everything

After River's cat, Candy, HAD to be something for Gage. He picked the Bear pattern from the "Knitted Toys" book, then came with me to the yarn store and pick out a contrasting color for the tan that I had in my stash. He also picked out which buttons he liked for the eyes. Meet Candy's little brother Teddy.

I have the perfect Lace yarn for this pattern http://www.heartstringsfiberarts.com/h35.shtm and the best part is, its in my stash! A beautiful greens/yellow variegated that I have been holding off for my next lace shawl/stole project. Thanks to the ladies on the Lace Knitter's List for this one!

Magical Knitting


I used my new ball winder that Hubby got me for Christmas to prep these two yarns for my dive into Magical Knitting. The blue multi is Lion Brand's Landscapes in Country Sunset. The pink is a Kettle dyed felting wool I got from eBay in Pink Lagoon. I started the Moebious Scarf from "A Second Treasury of Magical Knitting with the blue and the pink will go to the basket from the same book.
