Suzy's Hat finished

I__made this with the same yarn her poncho was made of Sensations Angel Hair in pink and Patons Divine in Richest Rose - it should go nicely with the poncho. I used size 7us circular needles - cast on 70 stitches knit with both strands until ribbing was done and increased 10 stitches to get the bubble look. It fits on my head so I hope it's not to big for hers. Next on the needles for her are mittens to match her poncho and new hat.


Red Carpet Convertible Swatched

Here is the swatch of my RCC - the bottom half was knit with size 4.5mm and the top was knit with 3.25mm. I like the top half better, but my gauge is 6 spi and 8 rpi, I hope I have enough yarn :(
Berocco, Bonsai, color: Japanese Maple

Suzy's Bag Finished!

Here are some pictures of Suzy's bag. I used left over yarn for this bag as well. Brown Sheep Cotton Fleece for main color and a cotton flecked ivory yarn for the contrasting color... I also added Suzy's name on the bag so she wouldn't lose it at Tap Class.

pictures of past knits

Here are a few pictures of things I've knitted in the past, but didn't have a camera to take them with until now. Pictured is a copy of IW Knits Winter 2005 issue, the cover photo is of a ballet wrap, next to this is my sister modeling her ballet wrap knit with Sensations, Life, (this is a bulky yarn), from JoAnn Fabrics. The nice thing about the yarn is the gold/green/red/brown sparkly strand spun into it.
Sorry to hard for you to see.
