Caffè Latte Cardigan

This is the Drops Designs 113-17 jacket with raglan sleeve and pattern on yoke made with Lion Brand Fishermen’s Wool in Natural and Lion Brand Amazing in Mesa colorway on the yoke. This was so much fun to make because the sleeves are short and the interesting knitting on the yoke part came at the end! Plus it actually fits :-D

Sunshine Booties

These are newborn size baby booties done in Knitpicks Stroll Tonal in Golden Glow colorway with size US2/2.75mm DPNs. The pattern is Multicolored Sockies from Socks Socks Socks. The socks inside are Circo brand 0-3mo from Target. So ridiculously cute.

Sweet Baby Sweater

This is the Sweet Baby Sweater free pattern by Carowiens that I found on Ravelry. I made it with Lion Brand Sock-Ease in Cotton Candy and Marshmallow colorways. I used US 2.5/3mm DPNs and Circular needles. Cute sweater but next time I'd probably make all the edges in a 2x2 rib rather than the 7 rows of garter stitch.

Cotton Candy Baby Hat and Shoes

Cotton Candy Baby Hat and Shoes are made with Lion Brand Sock Ease and US 2.5/3 mm DPNs (set of 5). The patterns are Saartje's Booties in the Round by Susan Grossman and Nana's Newborn Knitted Hat by Catherine Basten. I found both patterns on Ravelry.

Anchors and Waves socks

These socks are made with surprisingly soft Knitpicks Stroll Tonal Fingering in Blue Yonder and Golden Glow colorways. The anchor pattern comes from 55 Christmas Balls to Knit by Arne and Carlos. The waves pattern comes from The Encyclopedia of Knitting by Leslie Stanfield. The anchor pattern is a 16 row repeat and the waves are 8. The anchors and heels were done on size US3/3.25 mm DPNs and the waves and toes on size US2.5/3mm DPNs. The sock has 64 sts CO, the heel was worked on 32 down to 12.

Wigwam Scarf

This is the Mile-a-Minute Scarf #2 designed by Turvid. I made mine with one skein of Colinette Wigwam in Lilac 83 and size US13/9mm straight needles. Colinette Wigwam is a super-soft cotton tape.

Rosewood Cowl

This is the Mesa Rock version of the Inspria Cowl. Mine is made with Lion Brand Amazing Color No. 215 Roses and Lion Brand Wool Ease Color No. 232 Wood and size US10/6mm circular needles. Absolutely gorgeous colors and super cozy. I learned how to make a Russian join which is an incredibly sturdy way of joining two yarns together!

Pom Pom Baby Booties

The ever-popular baby booties pattern from Socks Socks Socks book with GIGANTIC pom-poms. I just love making pom-poms. Made with Lion Brand Baby and US3/3.25mm DPNs. Works better for me if I start the eyelet round k2tog rather than k2 as pattern states.

Gryffindor Mitts

These mitts are made from the free Rainbow mitts pattern by Sandra Jager on Ravelry. I used leftover Kauni Effektgarn EQ and a set of 5 US2/2.75mm DPNs.

Wizard Scarf with flash

This is the fabulous free "Honka" scarf pattern from Ravelry in the double knitting technique. I made it with Kauni Effektgarn EQ and size US3/3.25mm needles. It was the first double knit thing I've made and required lots of quiet and concentration. The yarn is beautiful but rather scratchy and sadly had several breaks in the flow of colors.

Amazing Cable Knit Vest

This is the free Cable Panel Vest pattern from the Lion Brand Yarn website made using Amazing Yarn in the Wildflower #203 colorway. I used 4 balls of yarn and size US7/4.5mm and US8/5mm needles. This vest was so fun to make and easy to pick up while on the train. The colors in the yarn are absolutely gorgeous. The price is nice too! The only change I made was to have the collar join in the center back rather than the shoulder side. I would definitely make this vest again.

Knitted Bride & Groom

My knitted bride and groom come from the Wedding Extra 2009 supplement of Simply Knitting. It is designed by the genius Alan Dart. I followed the pattern exactly but substituted about 14 kinds of leftover sock yarn to match the colors and used size US2/2.75mm DPNs.
