Always & Forever Mitts



I made these mitts for a swap. And I will definitely be making more! The pattern was so quick & easy. I really enjoyed knitting these. They would make great gifts!

Pyroclastic Socks - 1 Down!


Here's my first Pyroclastic sock. These are turning out well. I love the pattern. They move quickly. Just need to cast on for the second one.

Twinkleberries - Finished

I finally finished my Twinkleberries which had been on my needles for over a month. But I'm super happy with these. The fit is terrific & I discovered just how well the short row toe fits my wide, fat feet. :)

Chinook Shawl


Here's the progress I've made on my shawl. I'm into the border chart now, and have actually finished six more rows since taking this picture. I think I am on row ten or eleven out of thirty-seven, so just a little more to go! I can't wait to see this project finished!

I should just mention that along with the second chart being numbered incorrectly, the last chart of the shawl is as well. Still a very easy problem to solve.
