I came up with this because i need a quick, but pretty afghan pattern. This is pretty basic, but with the color changes I think it just flows so well. I think i'm going to try it again with more colors and changing them every two blocks.Size: approx. 60"x 64"Yarn: worsted weight, approximately 3045yds. (I used Caron Simply Soft: white(1 skein), lt. country blue(2 skeins), contry blue(3 skeins),

One of my best friends who is a cancer survivor, had a scare not too long ago and had to have a large mass removed. So i knitted this for her, and luckily it became a congratulations you don't have cancer again, afghan. :)

I love this little turtle. I knit it for my niece for her 2nd birthday. I couldn't believe how hard it was to find a book to go with it though. I've got two more almost finished for my girls and two more in the works for two of my little friends, hehe.

Woo hoo! They're finally finished! I've taken a vow to not put anything new on my needles until I've finished all of the other things I've started (with one exception that i'll post soon). These socks are great and I can already imagine how nice and toasty my feet will be on those cold winter days. I have a feeling I'll be making a lot more monkeys in the future

Toby had me shave his head and then started saying his head was getting cold. So i knitted this hat up for him. Of course he didn't want to model it :( so emily offered her head for the picture.

This is the sweater I designed and knitted for Emily to wear on Easter. It turned about a bit big, but i guess thats better than too small :(.

This is my first attempt at knitting cables. Next time i think i'll use a sturdier yarn that holds the cables better.Maddie wanted her picture taken in her big sissy's hat :)

The minute i saw the pattern for this tea set by annie modesitt i knew i had to knit one. I also came up with a pattern for cupcakes to go with it. It took me about a month to finish it, just in time to give it to my niece as a christmas present. Now i just have to knit another one for my two girls.
