Isobel's Purlless Pullover

Valley yarns Little Knit pattern and their superwash yarn. 


Finished yesterday. Made entirely in NY mostly while at Grandma's house. This will be for her birthday next Sunday. 

I will make this pattern again. No seams to sew. Only the knit stitch. :)

Maria's Möbius

I love making these! This one was for Maria for Christmas. 



ZZ Shoulder Warmer

The yarn looked like sunshine to me. So I made a small shawl out of it for ZZ. Wingspan shawl to start and then I made it deeper.

Cast on 30 for ribbing. Increased to 39 for the seed stitch hand. Decreased to 38 for the top ribbing. Sewn up with a thumb home.

Elsa Hat

Meggie loves Frozen, of course, and wants to be Elsa all day every day.  I crocheted her an Elsa hat.  She was sleeping in it at first.


This is Meggie with the braid up, because at the start of Let It Go, Elsa has her hair up.  She is also wearing a sweater with just one button done up at the top, because that is how Elsa does it.

Loblolly Mitts

Completed January 31. Manos. Unknown color. Pattern from 2013 calendar. 

I enjoyed making these. The cables made it mildly challenging. They were quick. Just 4 ends to sew in. And they fit well. 

I would make these again but with a different cable. I prefer a twisted cable to a branching cable. And I am not sure I got the cables right all the way through.
