Bobble Blanket

This is a blanket I crocheted many years ago.







I remember it took me forever but when I was done I was very pleased.
I still feel it's a beautiful pattern and an example of the beauty of crochet stitches

So many knitters feel crochet can't produce a fabric as beautiful as knitting can.
So sad for them because they're missing a world of amazingly beautiful stitches and patterns.
Just look in pages of Interweave Crochet and the many incredible crochet designers it features.
I will never understand the need for a scale when it comes to the fiber arts! We who love the fiber art should respect and be open to skills we may not know.

Big Sister Little Sister Giovanna's Cardis

I made these Giovanna's Cardis for a coworker who is having a baby girl.




I used knit picks swish superwash and trimmed it with lion brand Moonlight Mohair.
The big sister is 10 years old and I hope this will fit.

Knitty Emerald up date

The progress is slow on my Emerald from knitty.

I'm not happy with the lower body and hope I feel better when I continue. I started the second sleeve.



The colorway on the back looks a little odd. All I need is to call attention to that part of my body! We'll see.

Lesser Known Skeins Has Gone Ravelry!

I will be ending the blog because I wasn't able to work it on my own. I feel Ravelry will be something I can keep up with.
I would like the help of the original Lesser Known Skeins. Think of some good topics we can start.
I'm looking forward to this and think it's going to be a great place to get to know some wonderful fiber artists and share great ideas!

ChalkDust Knitters Meeting

As always we had a great time but I left a little early because I was tired and it was my older daughters 28th birthday.
We shared patterns and setup future dates. I can't wait for our next field trip to Stix-n-Stitches on October 11th.
This is the Teddy Bear I'm making for Mother Bear Project the groups charity project.
