Home is Where the Heart is

Check out my new obsession.

Felted Hearts!!!!

This wonderful pattern was created by Teresa Fox and can be found on Ravelry.

I will be using it to teach a two night class in January. The second nite we will embellish them, I can't wait!

Free scarf pattern

I made this scarf for my husband's new dress coat. Try it out with your own yarn combination and send us pictures!

Finished Size is 43 inches long and 5 1/2 inches wide.

Yarn: 2 skeins main color and 1 skein accent color chunky weight yarn
I used 1.25 skeins of grey Nashua Creative Focus Chunky and 1/2 a skein of red Nashua Creative Focus Chunky.

Needle: Size 9 or size to get you the fabric that you like (I used a 24 inch circular)

Directions: Cast on 150 stitches using the main color.
Tip: If you use the crochet cast on, it will match your bind off side - thanks Sarah!

Knit 1 row with the main color, then repeat the next 7 rows as many times as you would like (I did it 4 times)

Row 1: Knit all stitches in accent color
Row 2: Knit all stitches in main color
Row 3: Knit all stitches in accent color
Rows 4-7: Knit all stitches in main color

When the scarf is as wide as you would like it, knit one row in the main color and then bind off very loosely in the main color. (I used a size 13 needle in my right hand when binding off)

Winter Knitty

Have you noticed that the winter Knitty is up? What pattern is your favorite?

Excitement on a Saturday

I'm not sure what was more exciting that day... the fire trucks at a false alarm down the street with all those firemen milling about

The new shipment of pottery!

Open House shots from Amy

Thank you to Amy for not only playing for us during our open house - but then providing us with these great shots as well. What a treat to hear her play each year!

December Knit Nights!

Baby's Ear Cozy hat

Is it possible to be more adorable?!?

I made this Fiber Trends Ear Cozy hat for my brand new grand-nephew out of the new Cascade 220 superwash yarn we just got in at the shop. I washed and dried it with no special care with another load of laundry and it came out almost as soft and snuggly as he is!
