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.

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.

Fordham Socks
These socks were made using the "Comfy DK Socks" pattern by Handwerks. I used all left over sock yarn doubled up. I changed colors every other 10 rows. Yarns include: ShiBui Sock, Lorna's Laces, Berroco Sox Metallic, Madelinetosh, Knitpicks, Froehlich Woole, Schaefer Anne, Jaeger Matchmaker, and Koigu KPPPM!!! All the colors I used have shades of purple in them. I used 3.5mm/US4 DPNs with 48 sts CO. Socks are thick and squishy. I learned on second sock to weave in ends as I went along to save time.
LL Bean Needlepoint Belt
I found this adorable pink Needlepoint Belt with black dogs at the LL Bean outlet. I've always wanted to make a needlepoint belt and doubt that I could find a kit this cute!
Hanna Andersson Metallic Clogs
I love wearing clogs with my handmade socks. These clogs are Pewter Metallic from the Hanna Andersson catalog. The socks are Lotus Socks from Joy of Sox book made with Berroco Sox Metallic.

Cable Detail Socks
These are the Cable Detail Socks from Patons book "Socks in the City." They were made using US2/2.75mm DPNs and two balls of KnitPicks Stroll in Sprinkle Heather colorway. These socks were super fun to knit and the softness and beautiful color of the yarn exceeded my expectations.
