Show and Tell

One of the fun things that happens in the store on the one day a week we are open to the public is that many of you bring in projects to show off.  Below are a few of the goodies I wanted to share with you.

First is Jan's sock knit using the special color Lorna's Laces dyed for the Halloween Kit.  Jan knit the circle sock pattern, and I think it does a nice job breaking up what could have been a lot of pooling of color.

Natalie brough in her sock in the same colorway using the Jaywalker pattern.  I love how the zig zag pattern shows of the strips of color, don't you?

Finally, this next bit of awesomeness was knit with FIVE different colors of sock yarn- and these are colors and yarns that I never would have even thought to put together.  Leave it to Jennifer, a jewelry artist, to come up with something outside the box.

This linen stitch scarf was knit using Tosh Sock in Terrarium and Earl Gray, the DIC Dream Club from August 2010 (was the first Dream Club ever introduced), and Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock in Watercolor and Shenanigans.  A very imaginative combination of colors, don't you think?

If you were to come into the store this Saturday, what would you bring in to show off?

I think I know the Jennifer responsible for that last photo's subject :)...If I could make it in on Saturday I'd bring in a completed mostly-sideways baby sweater (designed by Lara Neel and available at www.journalgazette.net/craftyliving) that was made with one of my several purchases of Jojoland Rhythm (this one in the pastels). I'm in love with how the colors worked up!

Thanks so much for pointing out the Circle Sock and Jan's handiwork. I hate pooling and will have to use that pattern soon. Today, I'm going to start a ribbed pair with last years Kinetic Energy from String Theory...otherwise known as Christmas Stripe.

Oooh! It's my scarf! Still trying to finish it. It's kind of depressing how many rows of 500 stitches you have to knit to get 1" of width. Sigh. But I love it anyway ;o)

LOVE the linen stitch scarf. GORGEOUS colors. Mmm mmm... So tempting!

I did knit a baby blanket this year but the baby isn't due until February so I still have it.

Hi...I'd bring a beautiful pair of fingerless gloves knit with sock yarn and a pair of socks I'm working on.

No babies to knit for, unfortunately. So, it is socks, scarves and mitts for most and a night cap for my 95 year old father!

Knitted a few baby blankets, needed one, and put away a few for occasions when I need one for a gift. Big, soft and fluffy are my requirements!
