 | My kniting bag |
 | Circa 2004, it seemed the whole office was knitting -- so I went over to the photocopier and duplicated the pattern and off I went. Three years later, I sewed together this sweater! |
 | Originally conceived for Jack, this sweater is still waiting for a home |
 | Thrummed mittens using combed fleece |
 | My first sock, (for Kirsten). Pattern supplied by Janette Kruegel. We started at the same time but I got to the finished product first |

 | Dragon's Tooth Scarf, (made of regular 2 ply wool -- should be Noro wool) |
 | Lett-Lopi Icelandic wool -- not very stretchy - breaks relatively easily |
 | Mitre Square. 8 inch by 8 inch for charity square project. man-made yarn -- except for the yellow stripes -- which is perhaps wool blend. CO 74 stitches. Pattern of rows is *Perl, knit, knit, knit*. and Pattern of decreases is *row1, row3*. You decrease on WS. This produces a ridge pattern. Colour is worked for 2 rows. |

 | Beautiful and expensive pre-beaded yarn. The plan is to rip this out and use one of Janette's patterns. |
 | Hat for my nephew, Kristian. Black Wool is from "Shall we knit" a store in Waterloo. Red yarn is from wool store in Guelph. |
 | Hairband originally conceived for Sarah, partner of Kristian -- so I used leftover yarn from his hat to make this BUT the bindoff was too loose so I'll try again using the charcoal wool I orininally thought would do for his hat until I thought it over and knew I had to go with Real Black |
