Bead Stew Bracelet

I purchased the kit for Bead Stew Bracelet/Rock Candy from http://www.earthfaire.com. It was so hard to decide which bead combination there are so many to choose from. It was very easy to knit up, took longer to string the beads. I really see losts of possibilities with this pattern.

Monkey Socks


Finished the Monkey Socks about a week ago, but was waiting for Chappys wonderful Sock Blockers to come in so I could take a better picture. Knitted on #1 KnitPicks with Colinette Jitterbug Lagoon. I just love the colors of the new Jitterbug and this is one of my favorite. I think I have bought every color LYS carries. This was also my first ML to do on the KnitPicks in 32", I was still able to do both socks at once.

Townsend Sock in a Bag Swap

Wow what a wonderful Sock in a Bag I recieved from Mary Alice in Birmingham! My husband walked by and asked when I had made it, that is how much it looks like me. This is my first swap and I am thrilled, overjoyed & so excited.








It is denim lined with a yarn skein fabric and bright piping with vinyl pockets inside. Closes with a strap through buttonholes. Also Doggy Tape measure, Note Pad, Matching Business Card Holders with Cards & Pedicure Kit.




















Here are pictures of the four corners. Monogramed with my initials, skeins of yarn, the cutest saying and stitch markers.

Regia Yarn in bright colors and Mirabella Pattern which is very lacy and knitted toe up. This pattern would be great for my handspun Cashgora from my own Allie & Bobba. Have to find a very fun pattern for this wonderful colored yarn.
