Bath or Shower Mitts

These knit up so quickly. I used Bernat Handicrafter

yarn. They're great exfoliating mitts for the bath or

shower. Once they're wet, they stretch out quite a bit

too, so you don't want to knit them too big or they

end up being massive when the water hits them.

I got the free pattern here.

Lime Shawl

I was at the Spinrite Factory Outlet in Listowel ON

Canada and couldn't resist some of their yarns. I

found these in the odd ball bin and knew I'd

eventually make something out of them.

Several months later I made this shawl. The edges

looked unfinished and had far too many loose strands

that needed to be dealt with. I decided to braid them

rather than try to weave them in because there were

just so many of them.

Here's a close-up of the leaf detail.

I love the length and it keeps me warm

on cool summer evenings.

Striped Sweater

I knit this sweater for H. It's about a size 9 months.

I used a cotton yarn in 4 different colours and

loosely followed a Debbie Bliss pattern. I was having

trouble finding buttons to match, so I decided to

make some instead. I made baubles out of three of

the colours used in the sweater and I think they look

cute against the yellow band.
