welcome to america's knitting    
Anything Goes!

It's Summer time and the livin' is easy.....share whatever it is you are working on these days.  This is the season to walk barefoot and take life slower.  I have no theme whatsoever, so share your knitting with America ~ thank you to all who share!

Look at Dakota in a sweater made by her Nana Chris from Poulsbo Washington - OMG - how cute - LOVE IT!  It's a Lorna's Laces pattern called "A Cardigan For Every Kid" but Chris used Araucania Nature Wool Chunky Multi. Good job, that looks like it was fun to make!

Here is another entry from Erin in Long Beach California.  She has even written up a pattern for anyone who would like to make this bag.  Thank you Erin, your bag is exquisite!

Erin's Lace Tote

Jana Schiewe from Washington made the Koolhaas Hat from the Interweave Knits Holiday 2007 issue by Jared Flood.  The yarn used was Dream in Color.  Nice job, I'm making that too.....

Kim Gutschmidt from Germany just finished the Monkey Sock (no purl version) by Cookie A. in Koigu KPPM colorway P812.  LOVE THEM!  Thanks Kim~ free pattern

For the no purl version, you just knit the purls~happy knitting!

Here is Brynn wearing the sweater Grandma Deanna made and looking totally adorable.  Nice job Deanna from Poulsbo Washington.  It's a Lion Brand pattern called Eyelet Yoke Cardigan 

but Deanna used three skeins of Blue Sky Organic Cotton and a slight needle adjustment.  As you can see in the photo, Brynn will be wearing the sweater this fall.



Bag #1 is from Lynn in Washington; and it's a classic hobo style bag made out of the Noro Ganpi Abaka Teipu.



Bag #2 is from Erin in Long Beach California, and it's from a pattern called "Wobbly Circles Tote" by Leigh Radford and Interweave Knits magazine Spring 2006 edition; the yarn used was Cascade 220., Lambs Pride Bulky and Berroco Hip Hop stranded with some Lamb's Pride Worsted.



Bag #3 is from Melissa in Washington, and it's called Celtic Tote by Jennifer Tallapaneni out of the Interweave Knits magazine, Winter 2007 edition.   Melissa used Brown Sheep's Lamb's Pride Worsted.
