Nylon Scrubbie

Nice and tight stitches make for sore fingers. 

Need to go up a hook size. 

Karisma Skirt

I found a wonderful local yarn shop in Lakewood Ohio to supply me with the yarn I need for this pattern: http://www.garnstudio.com/lang/en/pattern.php?id=4146&lang=en.

I had to go with slightly different colors and yarn and the ladies there helped me to choose what I needed :)

Of course I'll post a picture of my completed skirt once I finish it!

More Cotton Yarn

Before the end of July I made it to French Creek Fiber Arts one last time before it closed. I will have to go further for good yarn now. It will be missed.
I picked up some more (yes, I know) cotton yarn.
Hey I like cotton....haha.
Here's what I got:I have no idea what to do with it yet, probably some bathroom washcloths since it is really soft.

Hi-Five Towel in English Heather

I have completed one of the two towels I am making with the Knit One, Crochet Too Cotton mentioned a few posts back. Here are a couple pictures. Still working on the other one.

Inca Alpaca Yarn

Bought some yarn for a scarf for my daughter when I dropped her off at work. Can't remember if I mentioned it before but she is working at French Creek Fiber Arts a couple days a week. So that gives me an excuse to go more often. :)

I decided that since she doesn't have any interest in crocheting like I do, and being around ALL THAT YARN that she should have something made from the yarn there. So this will be made into a scarf. She picked out the color.

This will be my first project using alpaca. It is very soft and I hope she likes it.

Enjoy!

Octopode by Pepperkitty

Even though it took me about a month to complete, it was really easy. I just had so much going on, I had to keep putting it down. I also had to find matching eyes!

More Yarn

Bought some more Knit One, Crochet Too cotton yarn from French Creek Fiber Arts. The colors are English Heather and Artichoke.Of course for two more dishtowels. Alternating the edge colors.

Dishcloth for August 2009 Exchange

Here is the dishcloth I made for my partner, Jeannie.
I also sent a few patterns, a note about myself and some candies.
