Yarn Stash

It's NOT 'stash' if it's assigned to a pattern. Rrrreeeaaallllyyy! The term 'stash' defines yarn that is languishing with no direction. Yarn that doesn't know what it wants to be yet. HONESTLY!!! Someone told me that, probably my LYS owner....
Anyway, enough justification! I've still got to finish the Double Knit Scarf before I can start these upcoming projects....they are NOT stash, they have been assigned!

Cleo & Rosie

Yarn: Jo-Ann Sensations Rainbow Bouclé

My friend was asking for some sweaters for her dogs LAST winter, I’m ashamed to say that I forgot about it. This pattern was made up from my twisted mind.

If I knit this again, and I may, I would used some washable wool blend, the ribbing just wouldn’t rib in this acrylic.

12/5/09 Cast on!

1/1/10 These are finished, except I’ve got to see Cleo and Rosie before I sew the last buttons on. Then take pictures!!

Well the girls didn’t chew it off, and didn’t really seem to mind wearing their new sweaters.

Very easy pattern, love the way the handspun looks in this stitch pattern.

A lesson in Double Knitting

Pattern: Frog Pot Holder

Yarn: Plymouth Yarn Encore Colorspun Worsted

10/14/09 Cast on. Trying to learn the whole ‘double knitting’ thing. Got this great yarn and a really COOL scarf pattern that is double knitting ….. so…. gotta learn how first. I thought this would be a good intro project, and I’m glad I’m doing it, reading from the chart, on the flip side of the knitting is a TRIP! It’s like knitting in 3D, don’t know how else to describe it. This frog pattern called for cotton and I have some left over Encore from my Hanne vest, so I’m using it and not worried about ‘gauge.’ So, in other words, this pot holder is HUGH!!!
