Our stash is so precious to us.  It's a reminder of good times, shopping with other knitters, ideas and inspiration we once had of things we planned to make, or as my husband would say, "money in the bank".  This page will be a place for me to show what I'm working on.  It will get updated periodically.  I'd love to know what you are working on also.  Please feel free to email me a photo of your work and I'll post it to the home page flash area or our projects page. I've got all kinds of projects on needles, from afghans, to socks, hats, sweaters, children and baby items to -- oh yeah, scarves.

My first official project finished this year.  I knit the Ribbed Beanie Hat by Lisa Ellis.  This pattern can be found in the Knit Along With Debbie Macomber Debbie's Favorites book.  Ask for this book at your LYS.  The yarn I used was a Blue Heron yarn from my stash that they don't even sell any more.  I found the hat small.  I used the suggested weight, and knit the womens size, and it was too small.  I know that sounds like gauge, but if I had gone to a larger needle the fabric would have been very loose.  I would make it again with worsted, just making the mans size.  Maybe I have a big head.  But anyway, here is Olivia wearing the hat.  Way cute!

Last year I got 8 projects finished, ok, this year I need to shoot for at least 9. Here is what I am currently working on.  It's our KAL project.  You can find the pattern for this shawl in the Holiday issue of Vogue Knitting magazines.  Its called #31 Lace Wrap by Andrea Jurgrau, Queen of Hearts.  I am using Brown Sheep Wildfoote in Ragtime.  I had two skein of this in my stash and have always like the coloring, so just picked up two more skeins at the Allyn Knit Shop in Allyn, Washington.
