I recycled this yarn, from my second attempt at a sweater. so far i've made two scarves, one given to my grandmother, another to my husband's mom, and this hat. My aunt as the lucky one who got this, for her adventures in nature, when it's so rainy around here! (the pattern is from winter KNIT IT!)


She also got a scarve. This is just a close up of the colors/texture.

Here is the finished bag knit with the handdyed yarn. i love it! it was so much fun!

Here is a close up of the purse.


I've started the jacket/sweater pictured below, with the yarn from Elann. I love the lightness of the yarn. I'm still not certain about the color. I'm afraid it might be a bit too dark for me. Just have to wait and see how it knits up. it might be that i am just ready for spring and those colors.
I started working out this pattern, even though I haven't finished my dad's sweater. I've been motivating myself, by knitting a little of this pattern, and my dad's sweater in the same day. Guess the sea of endless blue is getting to me.. just too much of one color, and also the end is near, and i am a bit worried it won't come out right. I know it will, it's just having motivation to get it done. Maybe i'll end up with two things done at the same time, a jacket for me and a sweater for my dad!



A swatch of stretchy cotton yarn, that is really for socks. I'm considering making a teddy bear sweater out of the yarn. I simply am not sure about three colors together. I may settle on the purplish color and the dusty rose color together for a sweater.
